An ancient secret.
A forgotten science.
A battle for the future of humanity.
Seven thousand years ago, as he lay dying on the battlefield of Lanka, Ravana whispered a secret to Lakshmana about a mysterious technology that held the key to Ayodhya's prosperity and the world's destiny.
For centuries, desperately sought by explorers, marauders and emperors alike, it has been kept hidden, safeguarded by warriors bound by an ancient oath.
Now, as tensions escalate along India's volatile borders and a crucial defence project teeters on the brink of failure, Indian industrialist Aditya Pillai and South Korean technocrat Somi Kim are thrust into a mission that will upend everything they know.
The two realize they must act fast, but never once do they anticipate that they will stumble upon startling revelations about a miraculous force that once connected Ayodhya to Kailasa, the Pandyan Empire, Rome, Damascus, Thailand and Korea. As the forces of past and present collide, a question looms large: who will harness the power of the ultimate enigma, and at what cost?
The Ayodhya Alliance spans continents and centuries, seamlessly weaving together science, legend and history in a breathless race against time. In this sweeping, unputdownable story of intrigue, betrayal, survival and love, master storyteller Ashwin Sanghi casts his web wider than ever before, spinning once again a riveting, edge-of-the-seat thriller.

The Purple Land

W. H. Hudson

The Englishman Richard Lamb is forced to flee to Montevideo, Uruguay after marrying an Argentinian girl without her father's permission. When he's unable to find work in the city, he curses the country and its inhabitants, wishing that it was still ruled by England. Looking for work in the countryside, he finds adventure and romance while reexamining his beliefs about freedom and civilization. The Purple Land is W. H. Hudson's first novel. Ill-received by both critics and the public when first published, it was reevaluated in later years, with Jorge Luis Borges saying that it was "perhaps unexcelled by any work of Gaucho literature." Hudson was raised in the Argentine pampas, where he spent his youth studying the local flora and fauna. In 1874 he moved to England, and was shocked by the ecological changes that industrialization had brought; this contrast helped inform the background of The Purple Land . W. H. Hudson (died 1922) was a major literary figure of the early 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. Adventure literature of the 19th and early 20th centuries captured the imagination of a reading public hungry for tales of exploration, danger, and heroism. The Purple Land belongs to this tradition of gripping narratives that transported readers beyond the boundaries of their everyday lives.
