Fourteen thirty-one is the year remembered for the martyrdom of Joan of Arc. But another landmark event was unfolding in a future French colony. Cambodia was a cultural cauldron of Hinduism, Mahayana Buddhism, and Theravada Buddhism. The largest metropolis of the pre-industrial era was also facing a climate change calamity. The story unfolds in fifteenth century Cambodia and travels to China, Sri Lanka, India and the Middle East, as Princes Adithya and Mahendra set out to seek help for their beleaguered country. Will the splendid twin cities of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom survive? Who wins the heart of Mandagini, the warrior princess?
The story is about 15th century scenario of Cambodian prince who seeks help from different countries as two cities of Cambodia are in conflict. This book is a historical tale of a love triangle that sparked a war between two kingdoms, Angkor Wat and Ankor Thom both were involved in war and the only reason, to win the heart of princess Mandagini. The beauty about the book is the language.
I would recommend it all my friends who like to read fiction which has historical setting and has long descriptive portions about that.
Overall Rating- 4/5
