Is the unexpected, rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva that hero? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, duty, and by love, Shiva will attempt to move mountains and lead the Suryavanshi to destroy evil. The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, a hero will emerge. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracized and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills. The Suryavanshi rulers are challenged with devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. On Satyajit Ray’s 102 birthday, lets revisit Boral, the village where the maverick filmmaker met Pather Panchali. 1900 BC in what modern Indians call the Indus Valley Civilization and the inhabitants called the land of Meluha: a near-perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram-one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived-faces peril as its primary river, the Saraswati, is slowly drying to exctinction. The film was a part of Ray’s Apu Trilogy. Tripathi devoted years to the research of Hindu mythological stories and history, and discussions with his family about the destiny of the human body, mind and soul to create this sweeping and fascinating adaptation of ancient Hindu mythology for modern fantasy readers.
Unbelievable secrets will be revealed in this second book of the Shiva Trilogy, the sequel to the #1 national bestseller, The Immortals of Meluha.Called "archetypal and stirring" by Deepak Chopra, The Immortals of Meluha heralds an exciting new wave of fantasy writing inspired by the ancient civilizations of the East. In a journey that will take him across the length and breadth of ancient India, Shiva searches for the truth in a land of deadly mysteries – only to find that nothing is what it seems.įierce battles will be fought. Unknown to Shiva, a master puppeteer is playing a grand game. The book then traces the epic adventure and inspiring legend of the warrior-hero King Suheldev, as he unites Indians across religions, castes, and regions, under his leadership, and mounts a fierce resistance against the foreign invaders. Even the perfect empire Meluha is riddled with a terrible secret in Maika, the city of births. The Vasudevs – Shiva’s philosopher guides – betray his unquestioning faith as they take the aid of the dark side. A kingdom is dying as it is held to ransom for a miracle drug. The evidence of the malevolent rise of evil is everywhere. His vengeance and the path to evil will lead him to the door of the Nagas, the serpent people.
Shiva, the Tibetan immigrant who is the prophesied destroyer of evil, will not rest till he finds his demonic adversary. The sinister Naga warrior has killed his friend Brahaspati and now stalks his wife Sati.
