Book Description
A scion of the Ikshvaku dynasty took birth in Kali Yuga, who would later be tested by Kismet and Karma. Right from being deemed as 'sullied' and out-casted by his villagers to meeting good people of the kingdom of Rudraputra and making friends, there was a kaleidoscopic shift, albeit a harsh one, in the life of the protagonist, Eklavya. There comes the point when he hit a low period in life and no longer cares whether there's light at the end of the tunnel. Did he thrive regardless of adversities or did he succumb to the darkness within and outside? Only the 'God of the Sullied' would know! **PRAISE FOR 'GOD OF THE SULLIED** 'Fast-paced, intriguing and engaging, this story is a complete page-turner.' - The New Indian Express 'It is not often that writers manage to make the mythic interesting in modern times. Sharma's 'God of the Sullied', excels in bringing a paced narrative that compels readers to leaf through the pages till the very end. It's a sure shot page-turner.' - Deccan Chronicle 'A classic, timeless work that sheds light on the ancient Indian philosophy and history. It's a gripping tale that is laced with freshly brewed twists and turns that keep the reader hooked till the last page.' - United News of India 'A fascinating foray into loss, grief, deception and self-identity in a real and raw fashion. A fiction thriller so gripping in its action and so convincing in its accuracy that arithmetic appears gloomy.' - Femonomic.com 'God of the Sullied will take you down a rollercoaster ride as the pages reveal the simplistic mystery enhanced by Sharma's engaging writing style.' - StarWords India
