Krishna has ultimately fulfilled the prophecy of slaying Kans and ending his callous rule over the ancient kingdom of Mathura. A land split by a prehistoric conflict between humans and Rakshasas (A race of giant creatures with unnatural quirks like shape-shifting and invisibility). But now, it is up to Krishna, as the new king of Mathura, to either bring peace among the belligerent factions or burn their strife forever in the flames of war.
    
    Karna is a mere fisherboy but is truly exceptional with the bow. He dreams of becoming a warrior someday, yet bound by the shackles of an archaic philosophy, he is prohibited by society to study the arts and sciences of combat. Filled with a desire to become a great warrior that reaches beyond everything he holds dear, Karna embarks on a dangerous journey, filled with deadly beasts and mystical trails, only to find himself a teacher.
    
    Bhishma is believed to be the greatest warrior in the continent of Aryavrath and the rightful heir to the kingdom of Hastinapur. Yet, guilty of mistakes committed in his youth, he vows to serve Hastinapur as a servant instead of a king. A selfless act to prevent conflict within his family? Or a foolish decision that would destroy everything that he hoped to preserve?
    
    "The Kuru War" isn't another story of a battle between good and evil, instead, it narrates a struggle that defined the morals and norms of an age-old society. It is a thrilling story of beings that had the power to shape the future, a fantastical tale of the rise and fall of the Kuru clan told as an action-packed reimagination of a timeless Sanskrit epic, Mahabharata.
