Blurb:

"Whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an upsurge in unrighteousness, at that time, I take birth again." 
               - LORD GOVIND. 

Born in the quiet village of Shambala, Kalki Hari, son of Vishnuyath and Sumati, has no idea about his heritage until he is pitted against tragedies and battles. 
Whisked into the province of Keekatpur, which is under the fist of Lord Kali, Kalki sees the ignominy of death trumping life all around him. He learns that he has been born to cleanse the world he lives in, for which he must journey to the North and learn the ways of Lord Vishnu’s Avatar; from an immortal who wields an axe. 
But trapped in the midst of betrayals, political intrigue and forces that seek to decimate him, will he be able to follow his destiny before the Kaliyug begins?

My verdict: 

This book is not just mythological retelling, but an engaging mythological fiction. The book had a beautiful map at the beginning which was really impressive. 

Characters and places where also easily gettable without any complications because of the map.

The narration is good, the plot is the one thing you won't get bored of, but the thing which can make you buy this novel instantly is its cover. Cover is as tuff as the story is.  Every detail and setting is well thought of and excellently planned. The characters are well developed and very well crafted.

 I really enjoyed the characters set in a traditional land using modern-day language. about the overall language of the book, it was written in simple language and the quotes of the book were amazing. There are a lot of life lessons in this book.

Allover a well-crafted book.
