Ash's (The Savage Fortress) efforts at normalcy are quickly dropped as he returns to India, this time to fight an evil lord. But he cannot deny the excitement and increasing savagery that are in his own body (no longer human, after his rebirth as a living weapon of Kali). Thrilling fight scenes and intriguing cultural references compete with flat dialogue and an overly complex plot.
