Soft cover. Condition: New. PART FOUR OF A SCINTILLATING NEW TRANSLATION OF THE CLASSIC TAMIL NOVEL. Who wants to kill Arulmozhi Varman, the beloved Ponniyin Selvan, whose kindness has won over the hearts of the Lankan people, earning him their unwavering loyalty? How does he manage to repeatedly escape death, each time aided by a mysterious woman whose face bears an eerie similarity to that of the Pazhuvoor Ilaiya Rani? Who is the enigmatic Kaveri Amman and what is her connection to the Chozha royal family? Pulled in three directions, who will Arulmozhi Varman listen to-his father who has ordered that he be brought to Thanjavur, his brother Aditya Karikalan who calls him to Kanchi, or his sister who summons him to Pazhaiyarai? Surrounded by danger in all directions, Ponniyin Selvan must find his way through this chakravyuha just as Abhimanyu had to in the great battle of Kurukshetra in Mahabharata . and emerge alive.

Carefully crafted in lyrical prose, the Ponniyin Selvan series is the quintessential page-turner: full of adventure, intrigue, conspiracy and romance.…
