About the Book FULL OF TWISTS AND TURNS, CHATURANGA WILL KEEP READERS ENGAGED FROM THE FIRST TO THE LAST PAGE. Political intrigue is astir in the land of Mahishmathi. After the failed coup staged by the Vaithalikas, Sivagami finds herself elevated to the position of bhoomipathi, from where she can more ably pursue her burning goal to avenge her father's death. Meanwhile, there is a tussle between the two sons of the maharaja of Mahishmathi for the crown. And behind the scenes, a wily, skilled player of the political game moves the pieces to topple the king, Somadeva. Will the maharaja-usually able to match wits with the best of them-prevail? Or will one of his many enemies finally be able to best him at this game of Chaturanga? Set against a backdrop of ambition, love, loyalty, passion and greed, the second book in the B hubali: Before the Beginning series is a twist-a-minute page-turner-riveting and deeply satisfying.
