500			_aAn ageing Chalukya ruler. A young, vengeful Pallava king. The war between the two is imminent. Who will win? Seventh-century India. The young Pallava king Narasimhavarman I promises his dying father that he will avenge the humiliating defeat inflicted upon their clan by the Chalukyas nearly a decade ago. Three valiant Pallava captains embark on a quest to form strategic alliances and weaken Chalukyan allies—the Pandyas, Gangas and the Lankan forces—before their fateful encounter in Vathapi. But there are obstacles aplenty in their way. From central Lanka to Ujjain, the determined trio faces unexpected twists, dastardly plots, cunning spies and treachery and deceit at every turn. Blazing battles are fought, shocking secrets are revealed—and love blooms even amidst the chaos. Will the Pallava warriors succeed in their mission? Will Narasimhavarman fulfil his oath? With its captivating drama and rich detailing of a glorious period of India’s history, Nandi’s Charge, the first book of an enthralling trilogy, is an irresistible page-turner.
