Description

PART SIX OF A SCINTILLATING NEW TRANSLATION OF THE CLASSIC TAMIL NOVEL.The storm has passed-but the shadows have only deepened. Grief sweeps through Chozha Naadu and the whispers of intrigue grow louder.Where is Prince Arulmozhi Varman? Is he truly dead?As the search for the prince continues, a new mystery rises: an infant of unknown origin, speaking in riddles that chill the bravest hearts. 'The fish will eat the tiger,' he says-what omen hides within those words? Meanwhile, in the royal court, Madurantaka Devar presses his claim to the throne, even as his mother, the pious and noble Sembiyan Mahadevi, stands firmly against him. What secrets from her past bind her silence-and could they unravel the very foundations of the Chozha dynasty?As long-buried truths come to light, alliances will crumble and faith will falter. And through it all, one question will remain: Who-or what-can break the web of treachery tightening around Chozha Naadu?
