Hidden Heart of Night Unveiled Kedar Sleepless

Kedar, the protagonist, is an ordinary villager, living uncluttered in the midst of the Himalayas of Uttarakhand with little exposure to the outside world. Yet, he seems to be a mystic with a deep insight into the profound mysteries of life. His mother used to see visions and tell him about her experiences of the hidden forces at work in life- the fierce combat of opposite forces: the Powers of Light battling the Powers of Darkness.

As a patwari or revenue officer, he collects taxes and measures lands. Also, he doubles as a police officer under the peculiar system known as patwari police or revenue police operating only in Uttarakhand’s hills.

As a police officer, he probes crimes. Although they seldom happen in the peaceful hills, a few of them are, however, weird. While dealing with them, he often stumbles into what he calls the Domain of the Dark. His world then collides with the Dark worlds peopled with the Dark forces dangerously real.
