Chandrakanta Santati — VI: The King's Justice

Justice, in the end, is the only tilism that cannot be broken. The aiyyar war is over. The tilisms have fallen silent. What remains is the hardest work of all - the accounting. Who holds power, who deserves it, and what it cost to get here. The sixth and final volume of Chandrakanta Santati closes Devki Nandan Khatri's complete universe - the love stories resolved, the rivals answered, the kingdoms settled into a new arrangement that none of them entirely wanted and all of them can live with. An ending that feels, as Khatri's endings always do, less like a conclusion than a rest. Translated complete and unabridged by Romesh Sarkar from Khatri's original Hindi text.
