ABOUT THE AUTHOR: AMISH Amish is an IIM (Kolkata) educated, banker, turned award-winning author.

His 7 books have sold over 5 million copies and have been translated into 19 Indian & international languages. His Shiva Trilogy is the fastest-selling book series in Indian publishing history while his Ram Chandra Series is the second fastest-selling book series in Indian publishing history. In 2019, Amish was appointed to a diplomatic role as Director, The Nehru Centre in London, India's premier cultural centre abroad.

ABOUT THE BOOK: WAR OF LANKA Greed. Rage. Grief. Love. Smouldering Tinder, waiting to trigger a war. But this war is different. This one is for Dharma. This war is for the greatest Goddess of them all. Sita has been kidnapped. Defiantly, she dares Raavan to kill her - she'd rather die than allow Ram to surrender. Ram is beside himself with grief and rage. He prepares for war. Fury is his fuel. Calm focus, his guide. Raavan thought he was invincible. He thought he'd negotiate and force a surrender. Little did he know ... The first three books of the second-fastest-selling book series in Indian publishing history - the Ram Chandra Series - explore the individual journeys of Ram, Sita and Raavan. In this, epic fourth book of the series, their narrative strands crash into each other, and explode in a slaughterous war. Will Ram defeat the ruthless and fiendish Raavan, constrained as he is by the laws of Dharma? Will Lanka burn to a cinder or fight back like a cornered tiger? Will the terrible costs of war be worth the victory? Most importantly, will Vishnu rise? And will the real enemies of the land fear the Vishnu? Fear is the mother of love.
