Somewhere in the distance can be heard the drums of war. The fearsome Chalukyas are planning an invasion: their war elephants, horses and infantry sweep towards the Pallava empire. Emperor Pulikesi eyes Kanchi as the crowning glory to his martial achievements.
Paranjyothi's Journey, the first in the four-volume Sivakami's Vow series, is a riveting tale of war, betrayal, secret passages, guarded forts, passions and a Pallava emperor who will do anything to save his kingdom. It was written by Kalki, a master storyteller who raised Tamil literature and history to new heights almost single-handedly.
Born and raised in Chennai, Nandini Vijayaraghavan is a director and head of research at the Singapore office of Korea Development Bank. Her translation of Kalki's Parthiban's Dream (2021) was shortlisted for a Valley of Words award in 2022. Nandini's columns on finance and economy have appeared in Business Line, The Hindu, Economic and Political Weekly and Financial Express. Unfinished Business (Penguin Random House India, 2023) is her first India- centric business book. Nandini co-authored a non-fiction book, The Singapore Blue Chips (2017), with Umesh Desai.
