The Mirror Of Fire And Dreaming

Anand is ecstaric at his new-found responsibility as Keeper of the Conch in the The Silver Valley, and with his dear friend Nisha, and their beloved teacher Adhaydatta is back again venturing on a new adventurous journey into the world of mystery and fanstasy, a world of royal beauty and splendour, and a world of suspense and action. In this second novel of the Brotherhood trilogy, the master storyteller takes us from the pristine beauty of Himalayas to the world of an ancient kingdom full of exotic Indian vistas and aromas, where an evil sorcerer and a dijinn are planning the downfall of the royal family. But can Anand defeat the sorcerer, find his friends lost in the metaphysical journey through time, and return to his own age and world without the powerful conch? The answers lie in the depths of the part fantasy and part real world of The Mirror of Fire and Dreaming...
