A gripping novel from
the beginning till the end! Well, I wouldn't say it is an end because the novel
does not end with this book as it continues in the next part as Pralay - The Great Deluge.
A perfect combination
of the past and the present, where the story goes all the way back to Harappan
Civilisation and comes to the present one. Author has also asserted that he has
used some of the historic references to make the story interesting and it is a
pure fiction. He has also mentioned that he respects all the religion, though
the novel has touched upon few others in the story.
What happens when a
person who is a Half Human and Half God when he tries to stop something
inevitable? Well, this is what the actual story line is but the secret does not
end here. It is much bigger, wherein the characters were used very intricately
by the author. This is the story of sudden disappearance of the mighty Harappan
Civilisation against the popular “Aryan invasion” theory.
Vivasvan Pujari was
the Demi-God(I can say that he is the Indian version of Thor)who took care of
the wellness of all the beings in Harappa. However his brother-in-law
Chadradhar's wife Priyamvada gets poisoned by some dark forces.
Who are these dark
forces?
Is it a single entity
or multiple person?
What was their motto?
How did the mighty
empire fall?
After centuries the
greatest grandson of Shastri lineage Vidyut is summoned suddenly to Varanasi
where a dark family secrets awaits him? What is this secret? An assassin is sent
to eliminate Vidyut? Why? There are leayers of secrets buried in the sands of
times and multiple relationships formed, tested and broken.
I must admit that the
story is a great plot wherein you will not feel bored right from the beginning
till the end since author has penned it so meticulously without deviating even
a little. I am now eagerly waiting for the second part to be released. I am
sure, when you finished reading it, you would also be expecting the release of
the next version. If you didn't, then I must say that you haven't got the plot
for sure ;-).
