About Author
Blurb
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 re-cast him as our Mahadev, the God of Gods.
The story revolves around Shiva the chief of Gunas, who resides in Mount Kailash with his tribe. who is trying to protect them and to do so he accepts the proposal to migrate to Meluha, the richest and the most powerful empire in India, to lead a peaceful and secure life as compared to Mount Kailash where the security of his tribe is always in danger. On the day when they enter Meluha, Ayurvati, one of the best doctors in the world gives Shiva and his tribe members Somras. After consuming Somras Shiva’s throat turns blue which shocks Ayurvati. Soon he is sent along with Nandi to Devagiri, the capital city of Meluha, to meet Emperor Daksha.
Emperor Daksha, a Suryavanshi, is in search of the Neelkanth(the one with blue throat) for years.He believed that only the Neelkanth has the efficiency and skills to save the Suryavanshis from the evil Chandravanshis and Nagas.
Emperor Daksha’s search finally ends when he discovers that Shiva is the Neelkanth. The blind faith of the Meluhans on the Neelkanth and the burden to fulfil their expectations makes Shiva doubt his own skills and efficiency to fight against the evil.
This book takes you on a beautiful journey of Shiva, his struggles in discovering his true self, his efficiency as a warrior and his undying love for Sati.
All characters are very well crafted and the character of lord shiva is kept very interesting.
The book is interesting and indulging… The details of narration complements the beautiful story very well.
Various characters are introduced in the first book well, many are told but kept in suspense…
This book is a perfect read for all the mythology lovers.
Hope you love this triology and get some help from this post.
