The Ashwamedha Yagna has established young Vijay the ruler of Virinara, a mighty city-state of south India. Soon after the kingdom starts to expand into the surrounding forests, its glittering capital, Dandavrut, is attacked in a brazen act of terror. Even as Raja Vijay unleashes his forces against the nomadic forest dwellers, his beloved sister Shanti treks secretly into the wilderness---and falls in love with the handsome warrior Narun. Will love triumph over hubris, and Shanti forge a new destiny for her people?A thrilling tale of adventure and political intrigue, The Legend of Virinara stirs up timeless questions about war and peace.
