A forgotten king. A buried secret. A sword that chooses its bearer.
When British archaeologist Edward Johnson unearthed a sealed chamber beneath the ancient Velmurin Temple in 1930, he uncovered a secret that could rewrite Indian history the lost treasure of King Elphanso Velan, the last great ruler Velmurin dynasty. But before he could share the truth, the world changed. Independence came, politics intervened, and his findings vanished into silence.
Nearly a century later, Vihaan Devendran, a passionate archaeology student and heir to a powerful industrialist, stumbles across the same secret. Aided by his loyal friend Tarosh and a British contact, he discovers evidence of the treasure now stolen and hidden by Keasava Bhargavan, a ruthless businessman with royal blood.
As Vihaan defies his own father and risks his life to expose the truth, he's drawn into a dangerous game of power, heritage, and betrayal. With officials silenced, enemies closing in, and his own life on the line, Vihaan must prove he is more than just a rebel he is the one worthy to lift the sword, reveal the truth, and reclaim a legacy stolen from a nation.
A tale of ancient secrets and modern courage, The Sword of Velmurin blends historical legend, treasure hunt suspense, and emotional drama into a gripping Tamil-English bilingual novel where the past refuses to stay buried.
