Synopsis
Ash Mistry is a teenager who is the reincarnation of an Indian hero and a living weapon of the death goddess Kali. He has a crush on his friend Gemma, and Lord Alexander Savage, the sorcerer he fought before, is plotting again. This time Savage targets the Koh-I-Noor diamond, and his demon servants threaten Gemma to get to Ash. Ash and his friend Parvati, a half-rakshasa, try to keep the mystical aastra, the Koh-I-Noor diamond, away from Savage, who has learned to create armies from stone. Ash's power works only on living things, so he cannot beat the stone armies by finding weak points.
