Blurb :

Govinda, son of Nanda-one of the many cowherds in the verdant kingdom of Surasena, in Aryavarta-was content with his tough but wonderful life. That was until the king's men came looking for him and his brother, Balabadra, spewing death and destruction in their wake.

Forced to leave behind those they love in order to save them, the brothers are now on the run-all the while being hunted by the tyrant king, Kans, and his bloodthirsty adviser, Chanuran, who will stop at nothing to kill them.

Even as their journey reveals Govinda's true identity as a prince and the rightful heir to the Surasena crown, it pulls them deeper into the murky secrets surrounding the throne-and its bloody legacy.

What will it take for an ordinary cowherd boy to grow into a master strategist who will always have a plan?

Review:

Spell bounding Book !!


I never thought it would be such a great novel, finished it in one day. The author Krishna Udayasankar has written the book brilliantly and each character is beyond perfect and you would get drowned in their world. There are very few authors who can create an image of the characters in front of your eye and tell a story like you are watching a movie.  Portrayal of all the characters are effortlessly brilliant. The language  of the book is simple and easy to understand. The cover of the book is apt to the story of the book. Simply unputdownable.


Highly recommended!!
