Vikramaditya Veergatha Book 1 - The Guardians of the Halahala

"The Price of a Promise. Paid in Blood. The deadly Halahala, the all-devouring poison churned from the depths of the White Lake by the devas and asuras, was swallowed by Shiva to save the universe from extinction. But was the Halahala truly destroyed? A small portion still remains—a weapon powerful enough to guarantee victory to whoever possesses it. And both asuras and devas, locked in battle for supremacy, will stop at nothing to claim it. As the forces of Devaloka and Patala, led by Indra and Shukracharya, plot to possess the Halahala, Shiva turns to mankind to guard it from their murderous clutches. It is now up to Samrat Vikramaditya and his Council of Nine to quell the supernatural hordes—and prevent the universe from tumbling into chaos! The Guardians of the Halahala is a sweeping tale of honour and courage in the face of infinite greed, danger and deceit.
