<p>1900 BC. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation.</p><p>The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha ? a near perfect empire</p><p>created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever</p><p>lived.</p><p>This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary</p><p>river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face devastating</p><p>terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. To make matters</p><p>worse, the Chandravanshis appear to</p><p>have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with</p><p>astonishing martial skills.</p><p>The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: ?When evil reaches epic</p><p>proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a</p><p>hero will emerge.?</p><p>Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva, really that hero?</p><p>And does he want to be that hero at all?</p><p>Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the</p><p>Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?</p><p>This is the first book in a trilogy on Shiva, the simple man whose karma re-cast him as</p><p>our Mahadev, the God of Gods.</p>
