&quot;Times New Roman&quot;">Today, He is a God. 4000 years ago, He was just a man. The
hunt is on. The sinister Naga warrior has killed his friend Brahaspati and now
stalks his wife Sati. Shiva, the Tibetan immigrant who is the prophesied
destroyer of evil, will not rest till he finds his demonic adversary. His
vengeance and the path to evil will lead him to the door of the Nagas, the
serpent people. Of that he is certain. The evidence of the malevolent rise of
evil is everywhere. A kingdom is dying as it is held to ransom for a miracle
drug. A crown prince is murdered. The Vasudev Shiva^s philosopher guides
betray his unquestioning faith as they take the aid of the dark side. Even the
perfect empire, Meluha is riddled with a terrible secret in Maika, the city of
births. Unknown to Shiva, a master puppeteer is playing a grand game. In a
journey that will take him across the length and breadth of ancient India,
Shiva searches for the truth in a land of deadly mysteries only to find that
nothing is what it seems. Fierce battles will be fought. Surprising alliances
will be forged. Unbelievable secrets will be revealed in this second book of
the Shiva Trilogy, the sequel to the #1 national bestseller, The Immortals of
Meluha.</span></p>
