Firewright: Book Two of the Aryavarta Chronicles
Āryavarta - the Realm of the Noble. An Empire of Divine Order, where Gods and Kings walk side by side. The distinction between scientists and magicians is blurred; and few understand that scholar-sages, men and women of learning, are more than just the oracles of the Gods.
Far more.
For generations the Firstborn Dynasty of scholar-sages, descended from Vasishta Varuni, the eldest of Brahma the Creator’s sons, has dominated the Empire of Aryavarta. For just as long, the Angirasa family of Firewrights, weapon-makers to the Kings, have defied them. In the aftermath of their conflict, the Empire lies splintered into many tiny kingdoms, plagued by political intrigue and held together by fragile alliances.
One man dared to bring them together, to forge a new Empire and new destiny.
He failed.
Now, as Aryavarta hurtles inevitably towards a Great War, the greatest battle yet will be fought by one man - Govinda Shauri, Commander of the Armies of Dwaraka – for he must now face the darkness hidden within the very human soul to find the true meaning of being Arya. Of being noble.
