Victory is Temporary the Battle is Eternal'.

Vikram Aditya and his Council of Nine have fought valiantly to repel the rampaging hordes from Devilock and Patiala – but Avanti has been brought to its knees. Ujjain lies battered;

its citizens are scared and morale is badly shaken. Meanwhile, the barbaric Hudnas and Sakes are gathering on the horizon and cracks are emerging between the allied kingdoms of Sandhurst...

The only silver lining is that the deadly Halladale is safe. For now.

Bent on vengeance, Indra is already scheming to destroy Vikram Aditya, while Shankaracharya has a plan that can spell the doom for the Guardians of the Halladale.

 How long can the human army hold out against the ferocity and cunning of the devas and asuras? And will Vikram Aditya’s love for his queen come in the way of his promise to Shiva?
