Publisher's Summary

The year 1900 BC. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation. The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha–a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived.

This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills.

The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: ‘When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge.’ Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva really that hero? And does he want to be that hero at all? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?

This is the first book in a trilogy on Shiva, the simple man whose karma recast him as our Mahadev, the God of Gods.

Truly Magical

The story captures you from the very start. Shiva is such a loveable character. I love how cleverly Amish has used all mythological characters and their personalities in the plotline. Love the details in how every structure in the book was described.

The story brings forward compelling arguments of morality, ethics and responsibility. Instead of pitting science vs religion, it shows how everything is correlated.

The narrator is absolutely fabulous. I love the background music, it gave a feeling of being present in the scene playing out.

Would love to see this turned into a grand TV series.

10/10 recommended.

One of the best books I've read/listened to.

I love how the book, right from the very start is engaging and gripping. I am looking forward to listening to the 2nd part of the trilogy.
