Two princes, Shvate and Adri, are born in Hastinaga, capital of the vast Krushan empire-one blind, the other albino. Though one cannot see, and the other cannot face sunlight, the Dowager Empress Jilana and Prince Regent Vrath assure their people and allies that all will be well. Any rumblings of dissent are summarily quashed and none dares challenge the might of the Burnt Empire. But when Jarsun of Reygistan's daughter is spurned by the ruling family despite her legitimate claim to the Throne, Jarsun-a powerful demonlord-embarks upon a relentless campaign to destroy the Burnt Empire. and all who stand in his way.

      This audiobook is an epic fantasy retelling of THE MAHABHARATA, an Indian classic about three heirs to a powerful throne whose fight to claim their inheritance could tear apart the very nation they wish to rule. Banker offers listeners exotic imagery that comes from viewing storytelling through the lens of a different culture. Vikas Adam narrates with infectious energy that always gives the story animation--that extra fun factor. His character voices are superb, and it's often easy to forget there's only one narrator. Every word is infused with personality and life. For fantasy listeners looking for cultural immersion and wonderfully diverse storytelling, this audiobook is a great pick.
