Equilibrium: the Avaasya Trilogy (Book 1) by Paras Joshi [Paperback]

An ancient prophecy, The largest metropolis in the world . . . A petite small-time robber . . .Meet Arya, a 17-year-old with the uncanny ability to open almost every locking mechanism ever known to mankind. Paid to break into a high-profile government vault, he unknowingly sets in motion events of apocalyptic consequences—The Tamisra is rising; mercenaries and shadow spirits have joined hands with humans to destroy the Equilibrium; and rumors abound of a Maayukh that links the ring, known as Avaasya, to the fate of the world. Racing against time to undo what he has done, Arya finds that time is his biggest enemy and that he can trust no one in this race to return balance to the world.
