Greed. Rage. Grief. Love. Smouldering tinder, waiting to trigger a war. But this war is different. This one is for Dharma. This war is for the greatest Goddess of them all. Sita has been kidnapped. Defiantly, she dares Raavan to kill her – she’d rather die than allow Ram to surrender. Ram is beside himself with grief and rage. He prepares for war. Fury is his fuel. Calm focus, his guide. Raavan thought he was invincible. He thought he’d negotiate and force a surrender. Little did he know … Will Ram defeat the ruthless and fiendish Raavan, constrained as he is by the laws of Dharma? Will Lanka burn to a cinder or fight back like a cornered tiger? Will the terrible costs of war be worth the victory?

The Ram Chandra Series is a four-book collection that blends mythology with fiction and fantasy in a gripping multi linear narrative. Each story explores the individual journeys of Ram, Sita and Raavan. In this, the epic fourth book of the series, their narrative strands crash into each other, and explode in a slaughterous war. Amish has sold over 6.5 million copies and his first three books are the second-fastest-selling book series in Indian publishing history, second only to his first series collection, the Shiva Trilogy. In conversation for this virtual event, Amish will explore this newest novel as the culmination of his multi-layered works. Be sure to tune in.
