“Power is poison. Power is liberation.”

That’s not just a line—it’s the fuel driving The Rise of Sivagami. If you think you know the kingdom of Mahishmathi from Baahubali, think again. This book doesn’t just peel back the curtain—it tears it wide open. Welcome to the raw, ruthless, and politically charged world before the epic began!

Anand Neelakantan is no stranger to flipping familiar tales on their heads. And here, he does it again—with fire. A seventeen-year-old orphan, Sivagami, burns with vengeance. Her father was branded a traitor. The kingdom she grows up in is rotting with deceit. But this isn’t a princess-in-a-palace story. This is about a girl who chooses swords over silence.

The beauty of this novel isn’t just in its thrilling action or layered characters. It’s in how real it feels. Corruption. Betrayal. Ambition. You’ll spot pieces of today’s world hidden in every page of this ancient tale. And that's what makes it electric.

If you crave fast-paced storytelling with twists that punch you in the gut, grab this book. It’s political drama, royal intrigue, and coming-of-age fury all rolled into one. Plus, if you’re a fan of the Baahubali universe, this is the lore you didn’t know you needed.

Want in? You’re just one step away from reading it.
