The place will be of their choosing.

The time will be of their choosing.

But the Indians will have their vengeance.

1025 CE, India.

Mahmud of Ghazni believes he has crushed the spirit of Bharat---the Shiva Linga at the Somnath temple lies shattered and thousands are dead.

But among the ashes of destruction, an oath is taken.

Five people---a Tamil warrior, a Gujarati merchant, a devotee of Lord Ayyappa, a scholar-emperor from Malwa, and the most powerful man on Earth, Emperor Rajendra Chola---resolve to undertake a perilous quest and strike at the heart of the invader's kingdom.

From the grandeur of the Chola Empire to the shadows of Ghazni's bloodstained court, The Chola Tigers is the scintillating story of a fierce retaliation. A story of unity forged through pain, of courage born from despair, and of vengeance that becomes Dharma.
