 Description: 

The Mahabharata continues to be India's great epic. While jaya is the storey of the Pandavas as related by the victors of Kurukshetra, ajaya is the storey of the Kauravas as given by the winners of Kurukshetra. From the author who brought Ravana to life in the national blockbuster Asura comes an engrossing novel that challenges us to rethink the truth about the Mahabharata. Suyodhana, the Kaurava Crown Prince, rises to fight Krishna as the Pandavas press their claim to the Hastinapura crown. While brilliant minds argue over dharma and adharma, power-hungry men plot an apocalyptic conflict. The women, both highborn and lowly, watch helplessly and with great trepidation as the calamity unfolds. And, like vultures, greedy businessmen and dishonest priests await. Both sides are aware that, despite the suffering and devastation, the victor will take everything. However, while gods plot and men's fates develop, a far greater reality awaits. Kali's dark age is upon us, and every man and woman must choose between duty and conscience, honour and disgrace, and life and death...
