Prince Of Ayodhya: Book One of the Ramayana: Bk. 1

by Ashok K. Banker (Author)

Synopsis

The original Ramayana was written three thousand years ago by a reformed thief-turned-sage named Valmiki. Now, with breathtaking imagination and brilliant storytelling, Indian writer Ashok K. Banker has recreated this epic for modern readers everywhere. Ayodhya the Unconquerable: legendary capital of warriors and seers. Never invaded, never defeated, greatest fortress of the civilised world. Soon it will be a wasteland of ashes and blood. For Ayodhya lies in the shadow of a demon's wrath, a demon that even the gods fear, a demon that even now is sending all its dreadful power to ravage the world of mortals. And only Rama, Prince of Ayodhya, can hope to prevent the onslaught of darkness and halt the demon invasion. But Rama will not fight alone. The sword of his brother will shield him, the wisdom of a seer will guide him...but in the final battle it will be Rama's courage alone that will save or damn Ayodhya.
