Mahishasura: The Legend of Kumarikandam By Anand Neelakantan

AN EPIC CLASH OF ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY, ADVANCED SCIENCE, AND INTERGALACTIC WARFARE FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ASURA.

Set 70,000 years ago in the lost, legendary archipelago of Kumarikandam, Mahishasura reimagines classic Puranic lore through a breathtaking sci-fi lens. Ruled by the wise Queen Devi, Kumarikandam faces an apocalyptic threat when an alien invasion descends upon Earth. Driven by ruthless ambition and futuristic technology, the alien leader Naqta genetically engineers and brings to life a terrifying half-beast, half-alien hybrid: Mahishasura.

As the dark premonitions of Sage Agastya unfold, Queen Devi must lead a desperate defense against an intergalactic onslaught to save her civilization. Blending the timeless spiritual energy of the Devi Purana with artificial intelligence, advanced technology, and high-stakes cosmic warfare, bestselling master storyteller Anand Neelakantan delivers a bold, wildly imaginative retelling that turns popular mythology on its head.
