To Bharathi, this was utterly horrific. If it were indeed the case then she was conceived the same way she saw Aryaraj molest older inmates in the encampment. As a result of this mischievous Roopa’s revelation, Bharathi fell into a depression for (she had counted) forty days and forty nights. In her dreams, she recalled a very ancient story Roopa had shared with her a year before: about Noah, who bought two of every living thing on his arc when The World had been flooded by God’s anger at human being’s conduct on Earth.

VICTORY IS TEMPORARY. THE BATTLE IS ETERNAL.

Vikramaditya and his Council of Nine have fought valiantly to repel the rampaging hordes from Devaloka and Patala – but Avanti has been brought to its knees. Ujjayini lies battered its citizens are scared and morale is badly shaken. Meanwhile, the barbaric Hunas and Sakas are gathering on the horizon and cracks are emerging between the allied kingdoms of Sindhuvarta.

The only silver lining is that the deadly Halahala is safe. For now.

Bent on vengeance, Indra is already scheming to destroy Vikramaditya, while Shukracharya has a plan that can spell the doom for the Guardians of the Halahala. How long can the human army hold out against the ferocity and cunning of the devas and asuras? And will Vikramaditya’s love for his queen come in the way of his promise to Shiva?

Goodreads * Amazon

The deadly Halahala, the all-devouring poison churned from the depths of the White Lake by the devas and asuras, was swallowed by Shiva to save the universe from extinction.

But was the Halahala truly destroyed?

A small portion still remains – a weapon powerful enough to guarantee victory to whoever possesses it. And both asuras and devas, locked in battle for supremacy, will stop at nothing to claim it.

As the forces of Devaloka and Patala, led by Indra and Shukracharya, plot to possess the Halahala, Shiva turns to mankind to guard it from their murderous clutches. It is now up to SamratVikramaditya and his Council of Nine to quell the supernatural hordes – and prevent the universe from tumbling into chaos!

A sweeping tale of honour and courage in the face of infinite danger, greed and deceit, The Guardians of the Halahala is a fantastical journey into a time of myth and legend.

Book Review: The Seventh Cup by Nitesh Kumar Jain

The Seventh Cup

Author: Nitesh Kumar Jain

Publisher: Cyberwit.net

Rating: 3.5/5

Summary

‘The spiritual path is not a solo endeavor. In fact, the very notion of a self who is trying to free him/ herself is a delusion.’ ~ Tara Brach

A wholesome package of thrill, suspense and nerve-wrecking climax, is what ‘The Seventh Cup’ offers the reader. The story revolves around Avinash, the protagonist, who is head over heels in love with Verona, the Swiss student. But getting love in return is not a piece of cake. Avinash is exposed to the harsh truth- the truth that breaks his heart. Verona’s boyfriend, Kevin, is the one who turns the tables. But then Verona goes missing. Amidst the search operation, many secrets are revealed and the labyrinth of life is solved. Will the mystery be solved? If yes, how? If no, why not?

My opinion

With the advancement in the field of technology, the techniques are also evolving. With this book, the author introduces us to a new term- ‘Mind Transportation’. The narration is lucid; the dialogs are short but precise. There are no major syntactical errors.

The blurb is interesting. In fact, the language and the vocabulary used for the same is exemplary. The use of idioms caught my attention! The cover could have been better. The title is catchy. It gives an impression of a fantasy tale. But the plot might turn out to be a bolt from the blue because the genre is not fantasy.

However, the whole approach of mind transportation and has been dealt with intelligence. This is not a clichéd love story. But this story has a lot to cater to the greedy minds of the readers. Right from chapter 0 till the last page, every chapter ends on a cliffhanger.

However, I wished the narration was more powerful. For an instance, the first few chapters lacked the use of pronouns. The repeated use of names sounded mind-numbing. Secondly, there are grammatical errors- specifically tenses and punctuation. Other than this, the layout, font (style, size) and the print quality are fine.

Nonetheless, good effort by the author. Best wishes!
