The rise of the powerful Raavan is sketched in this book as he transforms himself into the enemy of his motherland. This book actually converges where the other two had converged which completes the introduction for the mighty battle to follow. The inherent sadism that defined the character, the intense hatred borne of a childhood devoid of love, the frustration for a society where people were caste away owing to abnormal physical features, the justified rage with unjustified tendency to massacre for the sake of a handful, the undue obsession to achieve the best at the cost of ethics, the lust to dominate supreme, blended with the passion for fine arts made the trader of Lanka a force to reckon it. Not only he became the ruler of the island kingdom but also forced the the rulers of the Sapt Sindhu to bow before his diktat in one swift yet shrewd attack. But his continuing rage against his very own motherland made him the delicate pawn by an obsessive yet brilliant strategist. Treading along a fine line between control and the loss of it, the insecurity of the obsessive mind keeps the future of the innocents at stake. Getting hint of this fact and trying to save Raavan from drowning his soul further in crime, Kumbhakarna tries to force his sibling to the righteous course, time and again, but to no avail. So it remains to be seen, what final challenge Raavan throws to the motherland.
Though, it is a part of the series, but practically it is the remaining perspective that converges at more or less the same scene that the other two culminated. But, the surprise flashback at the finale, hinted several times in the other two books, will actually alter the thinking when yet another perspective will loom large.
The author uses sensuality for the first time and justifies, at places, the rage of the ruthless. These are the only embellishes in the otherwise thrilling jigsaw piece, which, notwithstanding the obvious predictability of the climax due to its convergence criteria, remains well knit with suspense throughout.
