Unexpected truths assail him at every turn - the searing fact of his own identity, the soaring joy of true love, the shock of his unforeseen vulnerability and, ultimately, the discovery and acceptance of his true self and purpose in the realm of the cosmic enigma whom some call the oracleand who calls itself kaal - the governor of the universe.
