Krishna: Maha Vishnu Avatar
by Kevin MissalWhat happened after the great war? After the bloody war in which many heroes won and lost, Krishna, the avatar of Vishnu and the king of Dwarka, stood tall as a divine figure of justice and Dharma. But forty years have passed since that day, and now little is known of the elusive god. Pradhyuman, his firstborn son, now rules with an iron fist but his personal ambition seems to come in between. Will it redeem him or corrupt him further? Balaram, the brother of Krishna, and the Prime Minister of Dwarka, must find a way to form an alliance between warring clans. But delusions of a giant snake haunt him at night. Will he learn more about himself or lose a part of his consciousness in the process? Samva, Lord Krishna's secondborn son, has absconded from the pitiful duties of the empire to plan vengeance against someone he personally hates. But, to achieve his goal, he has to first find his father and learn the truth about his heritage. Will he forgive or pursue further? And in the thick of it, stands as a majestic beacon, none other than Krishna--haunted by his past, weary of his future. Can he break the curse and free himself from the shackles of time? From the chapters of the Mausala Parva, bestselling author Kevin Missal reimagines the life and times of Lord Krishna in a brand new avatar.
