About this world

The Ramayana, structured as a multilinear narrative: the first three books follow Ram, Sita and Raavan separately from birth to the moment Sita is taken, and the fourth — War of Lanka — brings the strands crashing together.

India is beset by division, corruption and a demon king across the sea. A saviour is needed. In Amish’s telling, Ram is a prince learning what law and dharma demand of a ruler, Sita is a warrior and a Vishnu in her own right, and Raavan is a genius consumed by his own brilliance. It is the second-fastest-selling series in Indian publishing history.
