Title : The Conspiracy At Meru
The only silver lining is that the deadly Halahala is safe. For now.
Bent on vengeance, Indra is already scheming to destroy Vikramaditya, while Shukracharya has a plan that can spell the doom for the Guardians of the Halahala. How long can the human army hold out against the ferocity and cunning of the devas and asuras? And will Vikramaditya’s love for his queen come in the way of his promise to Shiva?
Author : Shatrujeet Nath
As the Blurb goes : Vikramaditya and his Council of Nine have fought valiantly to repel the rampaging hordes from Devaloka and Patala – but Avanti has been brought to its knees. Ujjayini lies battered its citizens are scared and morale is badly shaken. Meanwhile, the barbaric Hunas and Sakas are gathering on the horizon and cracks are emerging between the allied kingdoms of Sindhuvarta.
The only silver lining is that the deadly Halahala is safe. For now.

My View : Book series come along with its own pros and cons.If the first part succeeds in making its place in the reader's heart then the reader's expectations would raise eventually high from the subsequent series.Contrary to that if the first part fails to make its impact then no matter how hard author works on the subsequent series it would fail drastically. Shatrujeet Nath's Vikramaditya's series comes in the former category and I was equally excited to explore what experiments and fun author has incorporated in the second book.
The second series is completely dependent on the first one.When you start reading the second one, it feels like it's just the next chapter of the last chapter of the first book when you read both of the books in a single go.So, if you are thinking of jumping directly to this book by just only reading the blurb, then I request you to read the first part first to get the real fun.
There's a touch of reality in the story author tells.The wild imagination he uses to make the story intriguing doesn't make it hard for the readers to stress their mind.He makes it easy for the reader to go with the flow and get more enthused about the story.Slowly and steadily, the reader would feel himself fall in love with the characters as they represent such traits of human one would love to know about.This book creates one such world for the readers from where the reader won't feel like to escape.
I found this book more compelling than the previous one.Hope to see much more excitement and fun in the next book of the series.
