Blurb :The Chola kingdom needs a strong ruler and the Tiger Throne a new master.

Rival factions stake their claim to the Chola throne as a power struggle ensues with Emperor Sundara Chola’s failing health.

The air is thick with political intrigue. On one side stands Prince Madurandaka, supported by the ruthless Pazluvur chieftains. On the other is Prince Arulmozlivarman, the future Raja Raja Chola, one of the greatest emperors in Indian history. The Pazluvur chieftains take the emperor hostage and civil war looms over the Chola kingdom.

History and fiction merge to weave a story of vengeance and romance, disguised princes and beautiful princesses, secret passages and dark dungeons, evil sorcerers and master spies…

Who will emerge victorious in this dangerous and thrilling game to seize the throne?

Review :

The book is a historical fiction that revolves around the chola Kingdom. The book has everything political rivalry, romance , friendship and vengeance which makes this book a good read. The book is wonderfully written, story is engaging and cover page of the book is apt to the story. The story is awesome, the character development and use is unreal. Every character moderation and reasoning is spot on. Every character has something to contribute. The book is a perfect length though close to 700 pages not a single line is wasted. Every possible loose end is tied up. The language of the book is simple and easy to understand. For the first time in my life I wish I could give an author more than 5 star. Looking forward for more such reads.
