Shiva Trilogy by Amish
The Shiva Trilogy is a fictional story chronicled through three books - The Immortals of Meluha, The Secret of the Nagas, and The Oath of the Vayuputras. It tells the tale of a man named Shiva, who is remembered as the Mahadev, the God of Gods, for his extraordinary adventures 4000 years ago.
Set in 1900 BC, during what is commonly known as the Indus Valley civilization, the story is based in Meluha, which was once a proud empire created by Lord Ram. The Suryavanshi rulers of Meluha face multiple perils, including the slow extinction of their primary river, Saraswati, devastating terrorist attacks from the land of the Chandravanshis in the east, and an alliance between the Chandravanshis and the Nagas - a deformed race of humans with remarkable martial skills.
The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend that speaks of a hero who will emerge when evil reaches epic proportions and all seems lost. This hero is believed to be Shiva, a rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant, who is drawn to his destiny by duty and love.
The trilogy explores whether Shiva is truly the hero that the legend speaks of and whether he even wants to be that hero. As he embarks on his journey, Shiva must grapple with the forces of good and evil and ultimately decide whether he will destroy evil or succumb to it.
The Ramchandra Pentralogy is a prequel book series consisting of five books, four of which have been released.
