Setting: Pre-historic India; Kailash, Tibet

Synopsis

This is a journey of Shiva to destroy the evil. He is spreading all the pearls of Wisdom. He was born for this. It is a mission his Uncle Manobhu set for him. He has to complete the mission of being the Neel Kantha. His life is a total twist. Somras, a very good drink made by Lord Brahma, turns out to be the ultimate evil. This becomes a barrier between Shiva and India. Although it is a fight between the Somras and him, the emperor's addiction to it burdens all of India. He breaks a promise to the Vayuputras, and has to exile from India for 14 years, but he goes forever — what he did was not good for humankind. He never smiles after Sati's death, except one time, when he is going to die, because he knows he will go to his beloved.

My Thoughts

I will suggest this book to about 12+ years old children because it has some hard words, violence, and only imagination. Also, people who can bear war imagination shall read this book.
