1800 B.C. In the erroneously named Indus Valley Civilization by contemporary Indians. The people who lived there at the time named it the realm of Meluha, an almost ideal empire founded many years before by Lord Ram, one of history's greatest kings. With the main river of this formerly strong kingdom, the sacred Saraswati, steadily drying up to extinction, the Suryavanshi rulers of this empire confront grave dangers. Additionally, they must contend with deadly terrorist strikes coming from the Chandravanshi homeland in the east. Worse, the Nagas, a feared and distorted species of humans with incredible fighting prowess, seem to have joined forces with the Chandravanshis!
An old tale holds the sole hope for the Suryavanshis: a hero will rise when evil reaches epic proportions, when everything looks lost, and when it seems like your foes have won.
Is Shiva, the rugged immigrant from Tibet, really that hero? Does he even want to be that hero? Drawn inexplicably to his destiny, both by duty and love, can Shiva lead the Suryavanshi revenge and vanquish evil?
