The divine command was from Lord Shiva. So Shaktipurians would do anything to safeguard the 'Taal-Patras' -- the ultimate secrets compiled onto palm-leaves by the yogis that contained everything! Yes, all the do's and don'ts from making of the elixir to reviving the dead!
This task was headed by their beloved warrior Indrajith. But destiny brutally destroyed their plans! Their toughest braveheart was to perish in a bloody dual. This ill-fated episode prompted the rise of the nefarious king of Narakdesh -- Asurshasak!
Desperate, Shaktipurians recited the revival slokas on the dead grave of their only hope...
Would Indrajith emerge and come back stronger than before? And if he comes back, who is waiting for him now with a pole arm in her hands and protruding teeth?
With black-magic obstacles barring his way, the comeback warrior -- Suraj Sena is shaken when the conspirator rips off the mask! But traitors never go unpunished!

Me thinks
When the author approached me for a review with this book, my first reaction was WOW a mythology based novel and that too a trilogy. The cover definitely looks very enticing and that would be a great reason for one to pick up this book for reading.
For starters the plot was refreshingly different despite all the mythological books that are flooding the market these days. What struck me the most was the plot it carried a lot of magnetic charm within it as I read the blurb and yes the author did a splendid job in executing it to perfection with her powerful narration.
At times the story is too good, waiting to be told but lacks narration making a book fall flat. But here there was not a single dull moment where the author let the narration go loose. She held the reader's attention tightly in her words and didn't leave it long after the book got after. I cannot wait for the next book in the series. Each and every character is so clearly defined and their portrayal is something that binds you to the book till the last page.
A strongly recommended book for mythology lovers. This one will leave you asking for more.
