About the Book

Bhagabaner Apan Besh is a historical mystery-adventure novel set in ancient India, blending legend, mysticism, and adventure. The story begins with a dream planted by the ruler of Chera dynasty, Ravi Barman, in the coastal town of Malabar, where a prophecy foretells that a god will come to help defeat the mighty Chola dynasty.

Three hundred years later, during a Chola invasion, the descendants of this prophecy, a group of young friends—Dithi, Kalpya, and Sunrit—unravel a mysterious artifact they find in Kochi, Kerala. A brass inscription leads them into an adventure filled with ancient secrets and clues that might reveal the true identity of the god mentioned in the prophecy.

The book delves into whether the god's divine attire had the power to make an ordinary Chera warrior into a god, and how the children come face-to-face with the continuing influence of secret forces connected to the ancient prophecy.
