Scion of Ikshvanu

"Scion of Ikshvaku" by Amish unfolds in 3400 BCE, portraying the aftermath of a devastating war in Ayodhya. Ram Rajya, once a perfect land, now grapples with divisions and the deep scars of conflict. The defeated Demon King Raavan imposes economic subjugation instead of direct rule, plunging the Sapt Sindhu people into poverty and corruption. As the cry for a leader resonates, they fail to realize that the leader they seek is among them—a figure who will shape their destiny and navigate the challenges of a weakened empire. Amish's narrative weaves a tale of political intrigue, societal upheaval, and the quest for a savior in this riveting exploration of the epic Ramayana.

Ram Rajya. The Perfect Land. But perfection has a price. He paid that price. 3400 BCE. INDIA Ayodhya is weakened by divisions. A terrible war has taken its toll. The damage runs deep.

they know. A tortured and ostracised prince. A prince they tried to break. A prince called Ram. He loves his country, even when his countrymen torment him. He stands alone for the law. His band of brothers, his Sita, and he, against the darkness of chaos. Will Ram rise above the taint that others heap on him? Will his love for Sita sustain him through his struggle? Will he defeat the demon Lord Raavan who destroyed his childhood? Will he fulfil the destiny of the Vishnu? Begin an epic journey with Amish's latest: the Ram Chandra Series.
