Narasimha, once a brave soldier, has left the war and lies low as a physician in a village. But a familiar face from his past seeks his help to stop the tyranny of the blind usurper Andhaka. If Narasimha refuses, the world might just end. What will he do? And why did he leave the war in the first place? Prahlad, the interim king of Kashyapuri, is torn between the ideals of his unrighteous father and his love for Lord Vishnu. Whom will he choose? Hiranyakashyap, the ruler of the Asura Empire, wants to avenge the death of his wife. To do that, he must go through the Trials and get the ultimate weapon - the Brahmastra. But the Trials have sent so many others to their death. Can Hiranyakashyap survive? Welcome to the reimagining of the fourth Avatar of Lord Vishnu by bestselling author Kevin Missal.
Review :
Narasimha is a mythical fiction book. The legends of the past have been recreated. The way author has portrayed them into the simple human being with intellectual mind is just magical. Every word used by Author Kevin Missal is relevant in delivering the story which flows quickly and yet engages the reader. The story has not deviated at any point of time from the actual mythology.The character of Prahlad , Hrinyakashyap, Prahlada brother Anuhrad and Andhaka is beautifully portrayed. Language is simple and easy to understand. Title and cover of the book compell you to pick it up. Narasimha is a wonderfull book with a great plot and a fair share of twists and turns. It's a must read for anyone interested in Indian mythology. Eagerly waiting for the next part. A must read.
