Book Description
Exiled by his uncle even if not in name, Yudhishtira is determined to gain allies, something he cannot do when under the eyes of his uncle’s and cousins’ spies in Varanavata. Faking his death may seem a bit extreme, but he’s sure he has no choice if he’s to break this stalemate. Yudhishtira is certain that Suyodhana, his hated cousin, will be blamed for his supposed death, so it’s a win for him, anyway. Vasushena and Suyodhana are pleased with the news of Yudhishtira’s death, but the rumours that Suyodhana is behind it has them seething. When it turns out that Yudhishtira is not dead, and he wins the hand of Draupadi and an alliance with both Panchala and Dwaraka, they know that they have to tread carefully. Suyodhana is even ready to divide the Kingdom to get rid of his cousin. The province of Khandava will do nicely. Because Khandava is a vast jungle inhabited by the Nagas who don’t acknowledge Hastinapura’s suzerainty. But, Yudhishtira has no choice but to accept its kingship if he’s to ever achieve his ambitions. Some may baulk at genocide, but Yudhishtira has never baulked at anything that needed to be done. If that’s what it takes to win Khandava for himself, he’s ready to exterminate the Nagas. The third book of the Jaya! series continues the conflicts, trials and tribulations of the Kurus and their friends, allies and enemies.

Book Description
Spanning more than 100,000 verses, the Mahabharata is undoubtedly one of the largest epics in the world. On the surface, the story of the Kuru Dynasty, and their struggles for power, the epic deals with far reaching themes of love, friendship, hatred, and every emotion in between. The great war at its centre ends with the lines between right and wrong and the victors and vanquished all blurring together. This book of Tales is the author’s interpretation of some of the events of the epic, and deals with mostly imaginary scenarios which are not touched upon in the epic. Despite its vastness and scope, the epic glosses over several areas which have formed a part of the imaginary landscape of several authors and this book is the result of the imagination of one such author. This collection includes the short story, “The Forgotten Son,” which had won Honourable Mention in the Writers of the Future Contest.

Book Description
Ravana is the Asura King of Lanka, his might feared in all fourteen worlds. A boon from Brahma has rendered him all but invulnerable, with none knowing how to end him but Ravana himself. When fate puts him in the path of Vedavati whose death he causes, remorse makes him take her remains to Lanka where it makes nature itself to turn against the island. But Ravana cannot let go of the one woman whose actions have made him obsessed, and when he finally releases his remains, he learns that she has been reborn as Sita. He is not ready to let her go, not even when she chooses someone else. Abducting a married woman might be a step too far, but Ravana has always got what he wants, and he wants Sita. After all, Lanka is impregnable, an island fortress guarded by magic and an asura army, and an ocean separates it from the rest of the world. No matter what Sita may want, and no matter that her husband will move heaven and earth to retrieve her, Ravana is not ready to budge. Till he remembers the dreams that had kept him awake all his life, recalls who he is in truth, recognises the true nature of the woman he had abducted, and the enemy he has made in her husband. Ayana is a retelling of the Hindu Epic Ramayana told from multiple POVs, and aligns closely to the original version by Valmiki for most of the story. It may have content triggering to some readers. Please refer to the warnings in the book. The book was chosen as a semi finalist in SPFBO 2019
