The Epic Mahabharata endures as one of the greatest Indian stories ever told. But while Jaya is the story of the Pandavas, told from the perspective of the victors of Kurukshetra, the Ajaya series is the narrative of the unconquerable Kaurava, who were all decimated to the last man. From the pen of the author who gave voice to Ravana in the national bestseller, Asura, comes the riveting narrative which compels us to question the truth behind the Mahabharatam. As the Pandavas stake their claim to the Hastinapura throne, the Kaurava Crown Prince, Suyodhana, rises to challenge Krishna. As great minds debate dharma and adharma, power hungry men prepare for an apocalyptic war. The women, highborn and humble, helplessly watch the unfolding disaster with deep foreboding. And greedy merchants and unscrupulous priests lie in wait like vultures. Both sides know that beyond the agony and carnage the winner will take all. But even as gods conspire and men’s destinies unfold, a far greater truth awaits. The dark age of kali is rising and every man and woman must choose between duty and conscience, honour and shame, life and death… For fans of mythological bestsellers such as The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and The Forest of Enchantments, or those immersed in the Ramayana in English, Ajaya 1 and 2 are compelling choice. It is also a must-read for anyone interested in Indian mythology, mythological fiction books, spiritual books, and historical fiction books. Readers who enjoy the following or similar mythological books or religious books will find the Ajaya series a worthy addition to their collection: The Ram Chandra Series by Amish Tripathi, including Scion of Ikshvaku, Sita: Warrior of Mithila, Raavan: Enemy of Aryavarta, and War of Lanka, or Chanakya's Chant, The Rozabal Line and Krishna Key by Ashwin Sanghi, or The Palace of Illusions, The Forest of Enchantments or the Conch Bearer by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.
