AJAYA : Epic of the Kaurava Clan – ROLL OF THE DICE (Book 1)

Product Description

The Mahabharata endures as one of the great epics of India. While Jaya recounts the tale of the Pandavas from the victors’ perspective, Ajaya is the saga of the unconquerable Kauravas, who faces total annihilation.

At the heart of India’s most formidable empire, a revolution brews as Bhishma, the venerable patriarch of Hastinapura, struggles to uphold unity. Dhritarashtra, the blind king, and his foreign-born queen, Gandhari, occupy the throne, overshadowed by Kunti, the ambitious Dowager-Queen, who yearns to see her eldest son ascend as ruler. Parashurama, the enigmatic Guru of the Southern Confederate, bides his time to impose his will from mountains to oceans. Ekalavya, a young Nishada, dreams of transcending caste boundaries to become a warrior, while Karna, son of a humble charioteer, journeys south to master archery and become the land’s greatest marksman. Balarama, the charismatic leader of the Yadavas, envisions building a prosperous city by the sea. Takshaka, Naga guerrilla leader, stirs rebellion in India’s jungles, where survival alone defines dharma. Amidst this turmoil, Prince Suyodhana of Hastinapura strives to claim his destiny, believing himself its architect. Meanwhile, foreign princes plot India’s demise in Hastinapura’s corridors, as the dice of fate rolls inexorably.
