Kashyapa: Chronicles of Sigiriya: Historical Fiction Novel

By Dinesh Deckker

Step into the shadowed halls of 5th-century Sri Lanka, where ambition, betrayal, and destiny collide beneath the majestic rock fortress of Sigiriya.

In a land of intrigue and superstition, King Kashyapa seeks to immortalize his legacy by constructing a breathtaking citadel atop a towering rock. But as the walls rise, so too do whispers of treachery and curses. Haunted by the ghost of his father, the defiance of his court, and his own unraveling mind, Kashyapa must navigate a web of political intrigue, forbidden rituals, and the weight of his guilt.

As his paranoia grows, alliances crumble, and his vision of glory turns into a nightmare. The architect Darshana becomes both a key ally and a mirror to Kashyapa's darkest fears, while Varuni, a mysterious seer, leads him further into the shadowy depths of prophecy and sacrifice.

Will Kashyapa succeed in leaving behind a legacy carved in stone, or will Sigiriya become his tomb-a testament to ambition corrupted by hubris?
