Chandrakanta Santati — I: The Lion-Rider's Trap

The children of Chandrakanta inherit a world their parents made - and enemies their parents left behind. Indrajeet Singh and Anand Singh, sons of Chandrakanta and Virendrasingh, have grown up in the shadow of their parents' legend. But legend offers no protection from the trap that is closing around them - a conspiracy rooted in old grudges, new tilisms, and an adversary whose first move has already been made before either prince knows the game has begun. Chandrakanta Santati - the direct sequel to Devki Nandan Khatri's legendary 1888 fantasy - opens with a deception so precisely laid that unravelling it will take all the cunning the next generation of aiyyars can muster. Translated complete and unabridged by Romesh Sarkar from Khatri's original Hindi text. Book 1 of 6 - Chandrakanta Santati Part of the Forgotten Classics of India series
