The King of Kings: An Abridged Retelling of Ponniyin Selvan

By Sri Devi Om

THE KING OF KINGS is a historical fiction set in the 9th Century CE. It is an abridged translation of the Tamil novel Ponniyin Selvan, retold with a spiritual touch.

Around 969 CE, many political conspiracies and scandals rattled the mighty Choḻa Empire of Southern India. Power struggles flared among the provincial kings, the Emperor's trusted dignitaries plotted against him, and the bitter citizens of a recently conquered neighboring kingdom sought revenge through guerrilla warfare.

Vandhya Devan, a real-life prince, unearths these dirty secrets through his travels across the empire. However, the political masterminds have set their eyes on him.
