ABOUT THE BOOK:
Sushruta, son of the legendary war master Vishwamitra, has little interest in swords or tactics. But when his mother suffers and dies in the epidemic that ravages the kingdom of Kosala, Sushruta finds an enemy worth fighting: he declares war on the cruel gods of death and disease.
After learning to heal the broken idols of his deities, he sets off on a quest that takes him further than he could ever have imagined.
Along the way, he earns the love of the most beautiful woman in the world. He finds the hidden temple of Lord Shiva and the power of Soma. He studies at the feet of the master healer Guru Deodas –only to be thrown out for violating dogma and taboo. He heals the wounds of immortal warriors and visits the lands of the immortals up above. He plumbs the depths of the world’s greatest university. He charts a new path in medicine, and perfects procedures in healing and conquering disease.
