Astamite (Jaya! 4)

The saga of the Kurus come to an end, but who are the victors and who the vanquished?

As Suyodhana’s schemes against Yudhishtira bear fruit, the Pandavas are forced into another exile, this time an ignominious one. Not content with reuniting his Kingdom, Suyodhana undertakes to hold the Viswajit sacrifice, turning to Vasushena for a Dig Vijaya campaign.

Yudhishtira is not content to wait in the forest for his exile to end. He seeks alliances and hides in the kingdom of Matsya. When his presence is revealed and Suyo sends a force to capture him and his brother, Yudhishtira defeats them, killing Vasushena’s brother in the process.

As all attempts at peace fail, the cousins are hurtling towards a war, one that will plunge the entire Aryavarta into its vortex. In the middle of it, Vasushena learns the truth about his birth, and Krishna plots his demise. Will all of Krishna’s machinations come to pass or will Vasushena be able to survive? 

 Astamite is the concluding book of the Jaya! Series. If you love dark fantasies with morally grey characters, political intrigues, war, friendships, and tested relationships, you will enjoy this dark tale.  

Buy it today for a thrilling ride through the land of Aryavarta and its politics.
