Shiva Trilogy

The Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathi is the fastest-selling book series in Indian publishing history. It reimagines Lord Shiva as a historical Tibetan tribal chieftain who becomes the legendary destroyer and saviour of Meluha (the Indus Valley Civilization). Amish blends mythology, philosophy, and adventure into a compelling alternate history of ancient India.

• The Immortals of Meluha (2010): Shiva arrives in Meluha and is hailed as the Neelkanth, the prophesied saviour against the Chandravanshi enemy.
• The Secret of the Nagas (2011): Shiva hunts the Nagas to avenge Sati; discovers uncomfortable truths about good and evil.
• The Oath of the Vayuputras (2013): Shiva must use the Somras — the drink of the gods — as the ultimate evil; the saga concludes.
