Kurukshetra

'War is upon the realm, but is Aryavarta prepared for what it will bring? The empire that was Aryavarta fades under the shadow of doom. As a bitter struggle ensues to gain control of the divided kingdoms, both Krishna Dwaipayana Vyasa of the Firstborn and the Secret Keeper of the Firewrights watch from the wings as their own blood, their kin, savage and kill on the fields of Kurukshetra. Restraint and reason have deserted the rulers who once protected the land, and they manipulate, scheme and destroy with abandon – for victory is all that matters. At the heart of the storm stands Govinda Shauri, driven by fickle allies and failed kings to the very brink of darkness. He may well be the greatest danger Aryavarta has faced yet, for he is determined to change things forever. Reforging the forsaken realm in the fire of his apocalyptic wrath, he prepares to destroy everything he loves and make the ultimate sacrifice all for the sake of one last hope: that humanity will rise, that there will be revolution. In the spectacular, gripping episode of The Aryavarta Chronicles, Krishna Udayasankar’s recreation of the world of the Mahabharata establishes her as a storyteller of formidable power and imagination.'
