Ravindra is back, and close to his dream of becoming the Demon King Ravana once and for all – unless Vikram, Amanjit, Deepika and Ras find their own powers, evil will overwhelm the world . . .
Bollywood superstar Sunita Ashoka’s reality show Swayamvara Live! has ended in bloodshed and disaster, and Vikram, Amanjit and Rasita are on the run, accused of her murder. And just like the heroes of the Ramayana, they soon find themselves beset by the same perils as Rama, Laksmana and Sita.
When an unexpected death forces Vikram into the open, they start to despair – but there is some hope: Amanjit’s warrior skills are returning, Rasita is beginning to remember her own past lives, and Deepika is awakening to terrifying new powers.
But the enemy, Ravindra, has also found allies: the nightmarish Rakshasa army.
Memories and legends are coming alive all over India. The fight to the finish has begun . . .

Works for everyone
An excellent fantasy novel. If you're familiar with the tales of Rama and Sita, you'll find much to enjoy, and if not, then David Hair's introduction to the legends are an excellent place to start
David Hair hasn't just broken the mould. He's completely shattered it
Extremely interesting and riveting . . . will keep you hooked to the very end. Hair has managed to pack horror, reincarnation, mythology, ritual of Sati and history all in one book!
A fantastically written tale . . . An amazing story set in a magnificent background, it had me hooked from the very first page. The last half of the book literally had me on the edge of my chair, rooting for the characters in both timelines and wondering how the history would unfold and if it would repeat itself
