VARAHAS VENGEANCE Paperback

Varaha's Vengeance: The Battle of Vathapi Book 2 by Arun Krishnan is the second volume in an adrenaline-fueled historical saga set in seventh-century India. Following the events of Nandi's Charge, this book plunges readers into the heart of a grim struggle for survival as the Pallava captains, driven by King Narasimhavaraman's vow, push forward to avenge their clan's honor. In response, the formidable Chalukya King Pulikeshi, aided by his brother Kubja Vishnuvardhana, launches a fierce counterattack, ambushing the Pallava army on both land and sea. The narrative meticulously details the espionage, strategic warfare, and personal journeys of the Pallava spies, Elango, Muthuvel, and Kannan, as the very survival of their kingdom hangs precariously in the balance against the relentless might of the resurgent Chalukyas.
