Title: The Wrath of the Hellfires
Author: Shatrujeet Nath
Publisher: Jaico Publishing House
An impressive series closer! There, I’ve just summarised
Shatrujeet Nath’s “The Wrath of the Hellfires” in a nutshell. But this
one-liner will not do justice to such an elaborate and fascinating saga and
that’s why let’s delve into the full review that this book deserves.
This final instalment of the Vikramaditya Veergatha series starts
where the earlier left off. Vikramaditya is under attack from all ends and his
council of nine is no longer the strong team that it once was, courtesy Shukracharya’s
scheming.
With the Asuras and the Devas preparing to mount their final
assault, Vikramaditya needs his trusted council backing him up. However,
Ghatakapara is missing, Kalidasa has left Avanti to join the Hunas, and
Vararuchi is laying his claim to the throne. Alone and abandoned by those dear
to him, Vikramaditya is overwhelmed from all quarters.
Will the strife between the humans prove to be their
downfall ultimately? Will Vikramaditya be able to fend off the Devas and the
Asuras for good or will everything come crumbling down as the Devas and the
Asuras leave the human world desolate in their quest for Veeshada’s dagger that
seals within its hilt the potent halahal? Read this final chapter to find the
answers yourselves.
Shatrujeet’s writing is like gold that keeps on shining. His
characters have a life of their own and nowhere do they feel one-dimensional. His
vivid imagery transports readers to the described setting. This book has heart-stopping
action and intrigue from cover to cover. A must read definitely.
