South India. 11th Century. In the heart of an undulating landscape rises a colossal structure--the Big Temple of Thanjavur. This architectural marvel unites the land, fosters harmony among a diverse population, and even brings lovers together. Towering above the Chola Empire, it captivates the people and stands as a testament to their glory. Surrounding the temple's construction are an ambitious man adrift on a piece of wood, an emperor coming into his full greatness, and strong women of the court who assert their authority and presence. Together, they face the threat of a renegade foreign nation determined to bring them down. Empire of the Cholas narrates the legend of the Big Temple and the Chola Empire, blending historical fact with compelling fiction to create a tapestry that promises to captivate and enthrall readers.
