For four young men and women trapped in its story-cycle, the Ramayana is not just a legend: it is their fate!
In every life they have ever lived, Vikram, Amanjit, Rasita and Deepika have been persecuted and killed by Ravindra on his quest to reincarnate as Ravana, the Demon-King. Now Ravindra has captured Rasita, and demonic beings are rallying to his cause. His triumph is looking certain.
Vikram and Amanjit must rescue Rasita - but in every past life, Vikram has died at Ravindra's hands.
This time, failure is not an option. This time, if Ravindra wins, it will be for ever.

A fantastically written tale . . . An amazing story set in a magnificent background, it had me hooked from the very first page. The last half of the book literally had me on the edge of my chair, rooting for the characters in both timelines and wondering how the history would unfold and if it would repeat itself
