This present day, Shiva is a god. yet 4 thousand years in the past, he used to be only a guy. 1900 BC: the once-proud Suryavanshi rulers of the Meluha Empire are in dire peril. The empire's fundamental river, the Saraswati, is slowly drying up. There are devastating terrorist assaults from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis - and to make concerns worse, the Chandravanshis seems to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised race of deformed people with fantastic martial abilities. the single desire for the Suryavanshis is an historical prophecy: while evil reaches epic proportions and all turns out misplaced, a hero will emerge...
