The Rising Stones - Before The Flood (The Rising Stones - An Epic Saga of Indus Valley, #1) R. Shyam Nair Author

A city of wonders built on stone and faith. An empire of shadows driven by conquest. And a love story forged on the eve of a flood that will change everything.Mohenjo-daro is the beating heart of the Indus Valley, a civilization of unparalleled beauty and peace. Its great river, the Sindhu, is a deity and a promise. Its people are guided by the wise High Priest, and its very streets hum with the memory of generations.Eeshan is a scribe, a quiet man who records the city's life in stone and clay. He knows the rhythms of the river and the language of the forgotten seals. But when a ruthless empire from the West threatens to crush Mohenjo-daro, Eeshan's world of words and tradition is shattered. He finds himself caught in a web of political intrigue, a love he never expected, and a destiny he cannot escape.As the skies darken and the river whispers of a coming flood, Eeshan must choose: to stand as the scribe who merely records the past, or to become the leader who fights for the future.But what if the greatest betrayal comes from within?In the ancient world of whispers and rising stones, courage is tested, loyalties are broken, and the memory of a city hangs in the balance.The Rising Stones: Before the Flood is the epic first instalment in a saga of love, betrayal, and a civilisation on the brink of legend.
