Description

This deluxe illustrated novel adaptation of the Ramayana—the classic Hindu epic—pairs divinely inspired art with intimate portrayals of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Ravana, and plenty of more. 

Welcome to the royal city of Ayodhya, a realm ruled by the Sun dynasty, where peace reigns some of the citizens at the same time as discord simmers in the back of the palace walls. A prophecy predicts that a son of the Sun dynasty will slay the immortal Ravana and defeat his demon army—but how will a mere human succeed where all of the gods have failed?

Meanwhile, Ayodhya’s emperor is torn between his own needs and the needs of the empire. His rebellious third wife, raised as a warrior, is haunted by her past. A defiant servant, stigmatized by her deformity, is willing to destroy the empire to reach her own aims. A prince, unaware of his own divine origin, falls in love with a princess so ordinary even the all-seeing sages cannot fathom her destiny. Shape-shifting blood-drinkers from the celestial realm fill the forests around the city, and the time of prophecy is drawing near—but will the blessings of the gods be enough to fend off the darkness growing in the heart of Ayodhya?

A actually original reimagining of the classic Indian epic, the Ramayana, as told primarily through the eyes of the women in the back of the throne, Shadows of the Sun Dynasty reveals an entirely new standpoint on an ancient story.

Set in a world of kings and queens, celestial battles, invisible foes, and circle of relatives rivalries, this epic tale forges legends in the fires of betrayal and prophecy.
