In 1599, an English merchant journeys to Istanbul and then to India where he encounters a Dāin. The Merchant falls in love with the Dāin and has some adventures with her, to say the least.
In 2022, a couple purchase a home in Kent, unaware that the property is haunted by the same Dāin the merchant had met centuries prior.
In the vibrant and treacherous world of 17th-century India, the enigmatic Dain and his companion John gamble their lives on a perilous journey toward Istanbul, hunted by a relentless Rakshasa—a monstrous being driven by an insatiable hunger for the Dain. As they race against time and monstrous fury, the stakes climb ever higher, their fates teetering on the edge of survival.
Centuries later, in the quiet countryside of modern-day Kent, England, an exterminator’s routine task of clearing a basement spirals into a chilling discovery. Beneath the earth lies a sinister presence, awakening an ancient legacy that echoes the Dain’s shadowed past.
Bridging lush historical adventure with contemporary horror, The Dain delivers a haunting exploration of humanity’s clash with the unknown—a timeless saga where the hunted and the hidden collide across the ages.
