Born to Be King
What are you willing to sacrifice to achieve victory? Born of a sacrifice to the gods, Princess Kautilya is the only daughter of the warrior king of Bharat. Her brothers, blessed with the traits of eagles, falcons and hawks, achieve renown across the empire, while she’s ridiculed for possessing the qualities of a parrot. Kautilya’s life takes an unexpected turn when her family is betrayed. Now, in order to restore her father’s legacy—and claim the throne—she must organize the greatest rebellion her nation has ever seen. But the enemy is always one step ahead, willing to go to any lengths to win. And her only allies are a group of misfits, plus a paltry army hidden in the forests. Will Kautilya have her vengeance? Or is her burgeoning resistance doomed to fail? If you enjoyed The Immortals of Meluha and The Palace of Illusions, then dive into this fantasy adventure inspired by Indian culture and history, with: a mythical world; relatable characters; and heavy doses of magic, romance, battles and betrayals.

Design and Rhetoric in a Sanskrit Court Epic
Indira Viswanathan Peterson provides an introduction to the Sanskrit court epic (mahākāvya), an important genre in classical Indian poetry, and the first study of a celebrated sixth-century poem, the Kirātārjunīya (Arjuna and the Hunter) of Bhāravi. Sanskrit court epics are shown to be characterized both by formalism and a deep engagement with enduring Indian values. The Kirātārjunīya is the earliest literary treatment of the narrative of the Pandava hero Arjuna's combat with the great god Śiva, a seminal episode in the war epic Mahābhārata. Through a close analysis of the structural strategies of Bhāravi's poem, the author illuminates the aesthetic of the mahākāvya genre. Pet...
