Medieval India was filled with little kingdoms, bitterly fighting each other to maintain their territory and sovereignty. In South India, the many sea ports and the flourishing spice trade also brought unwanted attention from across the seas. Hakka and Bukka had to defend their lands against the armies of the powerful Delhi Sultanate, while Rani Chennamma had to fight her own neighbors.
Rani Abbakka had to defend her people from the invading Portuguese, while Kochunni and Othenan had to fight injustice in their own homelands. The heroes in this collection are just some of those who fought enemies both internal and external, to maintain the unity of their lands against all threats and to serve justice as best as they could.
