Publisher's Summary

The year 1900 BC. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation. The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha–a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived.

This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills.

The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: ‘When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge.’ Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva really that hero? And does he want to be that hero at all? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?

This is the first book in a trilogy on Shiva, the simple man whose karma recast him as our Mahadev, the God of Gods.

10/10 worth it

Excellent narration to an excellent book. Best fictional book I've read (heard :P) in while. Kudos to the mixing and people involved in the sound work to go along with the superb narration

Very captivating

I really enjoyed the amount of inspiration they drew from the actual mythology regarding the names, blood lines and the actual nature of the characters.

Really enjoyed the story. Highly recommended.

Ace work by the narrator

The Shiva trilogy was one of the first series I started my reading journey with. I read 'The Immortals of Mehluha' almost five years ago, but recently subscribed to its audiobook and absolutely loved it. The narrator, 'Manish', did an amazing job. I highly recommend giving it a listen!

A different narration of Indian Mythology

captivating

I was so captivated by the story. that I continued listening for longer periods, though it tightened my schedule. The concept of the two ways of living - one that is ruled by uniform laws and the other that respects individuality - made me wonder. Besides the story, the narrator and sound director have lent life to the story.
