‘Should we be loyal to an unjust ruler?’

This is the dilemma before the citizens of Magadha . They ask themselves -

‘Is it safe to be a fence sitter?’

‘Is it prudent to emigrate?’

‘Is it time to rise in revolt?’

No citizen is immune, each must make a choice!

Disclaimer:

All events, people and some places in this novel are fictitious. Though the novel is set in 5th Century AD , India, the life presented is an amalgamation of different eras and imagination. Infact , much of the understanding of the society at that point of time has been gained from Kautilya’s Arthashastra which was first written seven centuries earlier.
