Abandoned to the mercy of the river, the infant Karna was destined for a life of struggle. But fate had a different design.
When the elderly patriarch Bhishma discovers a golden basket drifting upon the currents of the Ashwa River, he finds more than just a child-he finds a mystery wrapped in divine light. With the miraculous intervention of Devi Ganga and the thunderous arrival of the Sun God himself, the gates of Hastinapur are flung wide for the son of the Sun.
In a palace rife with ambition and the shadows of the future, the child with the lotus eyes becomes the pivot upon which history turns. Raised under the watchful gaze of Bhishma and the protective embrace of Rajamata Sathyavati, the boy who should have been a charioteer is now the golden prince of the Kuru dynasty.
But destiny is a heavy crown. Will this intervention save the Kuru line, or will it ignite a fire that burns the entire world?
