1900 BC. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation.
The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha ? a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived.
This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to
have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills.
The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: ?When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge.?
Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva, really that hero?
And does he want to be that hero at all?
Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?
This is the first book in a trilogy on Shiva, the simple man whose karma re-cast him as our Mahadev, the God of Gods.

The Immortals of Meluha - In 1900 BC, the land known as the Indus Valley Civilisation was actually called Meluha. This once magnificent empire, ruled by the Suryavanshis, faces perilous challenges. The revered Saraswati River is drying up, and they suffer terrorist attacks from the Chandravanshis. To worsen matters, the Chandravanshis have allied with the sinister Nagas, a deformed race with exceptional martial skills. In this dire situation, a hero from an ancient legend might be the Suryavanshis' only hope. Shiva, a rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant, unexpectedly finds himself drawn to his destiny. Will he embrace his role and lead the Suryavanshis to victory over evil?
