Book excerpt: 'Fans of The Winds of Hastinapur, who should be legion, will delight in reconnecting with Sharath Komarraju's alternative-Mahabharata universe, where divinities and royals are both complex, capricious beings - with the former distinguished only by slightly enhanced powers, and the latter by more immediate desires and ambition. Komarraju has set himself greater challenges in this sophomore outing of his series: the plot thickens, the players multiply and the geopolitical chessboard on which this epic game unfolds is a thing of beautiful intricacy.' - Karthika Nair, author of Until the Lions For the story of the Great War is also the story of the women . . .Amba lives for revenge, but circumstances and men conspire against her. Will her daughter bring her the only salvation she seeks? Kunti stakes all to free her brother Vasudev and his wife Devaki. Yet it is the groom-choosing ceremony that will define her life. Gandhari too has come of age, and is faced with a difficult choice: she must marry the blind prince of Hastinapur if she is to save her kingdom from the certain ruin it faces due to Hastinapur's deceit.In the background, Bhishma pulls the strings, making alliances and marriages, devising new strategies, ever increasing the might of Hastinapur.
