Davyaprithvi  (English, Paperback, Rajdeep Paul)

Descripiton

Legends speak of a Heaven on Earth beyond the River Indus in the land of Sindhu, where gold grows on the earth and nectar flows in the waters. The search for this earthly paradise has led the clan of Aryas out of their homes in the north to take a formidable journey across the mountainous wild led by their King Varuna, the three Chiefs Agni, Vayu and Surya and the visionary twin priests Bhrigavangirasa, with the burning desire to possess this heaven for their own.

But in the land of Sindhu, the Dasyus rule supreme and powerful. Under the just and able reign of their high King Pasupati Sambhu and Queen Danu, the Dasyu people live in peace and prosperity, living in magnificent cities and enjoying amenities far beyond the imagination of any other contemporary civilization, thanks to the continuous scientific progress made by the Dasyu inventors called Ribhus and the brewing of the powerful Kalakuta liquid used to fuel their miraculous weapons.

The Aryas arrival in the Indus Valley put them in direct confrontation with seemingly invincible Dasyu race, and their only ally in this conflict are the tree-faring hedonistic race of Gandharvas who only care to make music, dance and have wanton orgies of love in drunken stupors of the intoxicating aphrodisiac known as Sura.

Riding fleet-footed horses, and armed with cunning and aggression the Aryas clash with the formidable might of the Dasyu nation to gain sovereignty over the prosperous Indus Valley and in this titanic clash between the force of a tide and the might of a mountain only one shall be the winner. But whatever be the outcome of this contest, one shall witness history in its making

Hold your breath, as history comes alive..!
