Is the rough-hewn Tibetan immigrant Shiva, really that hero? And does he want to be that hero at all? Drawn suddenly to his destiny, by duty as well as by love, will Shiva lead the Suryavanshi vengeance and destroy evil?
The only hope for the Suryavanshis is an ancient legend: When evil reaches epic proportions, when all seems lost, when it appears that your enemies have triumphed, a hero will emerge. To make matters worse, the Chandravanshis appear to have allied with the Nagas, an ostracised and sinister race of deformed humans with astonishing martial skills! They also face devastating terrorist attacks from the east, the land of the Chandravanshis. This once proud empire and its Suryavanshi rulers face severe perils as its primary river, the revered Saraswati, is slowly drying to extinction. The inhabitants of that period called it the land of Meluha a near perfect empire created many centuries earlier by Lord Ram, one of the greatest monarchs that ever lived. In what modern Indians mistakenly call the Indus Valley Civilisation.
With the launch of the third installment, titled The Oath of the Vayuputras, in February 2013, the Shiva Trilogy has become the fastest selling book series in the history of Indian publishing, with 2.5 million copies in print and over ₹60 crore (US$7.5 million) in sales.1900 BC. It was critically appreciated by some Indian reviewers, others noted that Tripathi's writing tended to lose focus at some parts of the story. Tripathi even changed his publisher and hosted a big launch for the book in Delhi. It had to be reprinted a number of times to keep up with the demand. Ultimately, when the book was published in February 2010, it went on to become a huge commercial success. It included posting a live-action video on YouTube, and making the first chapter of the book available as a free digital download, to entice readers. Ultimately when his agent decided to publish the book himself, Tripathi embarked on a promotional campaign. After finishing writing The Immortals of Meluha, Tripathi faced rejection from many publication houses. He decided to base his story on a radical idea that all Gods were once human beings it was their deeds in the human life that made them famous as Gods. Tripathi had initially decided to write a book on the philosophy of evil, but was dissuaded by his family members, so he decided to write a book on Shiva, one of the Hindu Gods.
