HOT OFF THE PRESS
He had been born , he had lived , and he would die if need be , for a divine purpose-to kill the Soul Stealer
Surapadma ' s reign of terror flourishes and the fate of all creatures-mortal and immortal-hangs in the balance . Shiva ' s son , Kartikeya , must destroy several formidable asuras before he can confront the Soul Stealer and salvage the dying , gasping universe .
But Kartikeya , whisked away by mysterious forces to live amidst birds and beasts on a bleak mountainside , is ignorant of his destiny , and struggles to find his identity . Not even Brahma , Vishnu or
Shiva come to his aid . He can win the final battle only if he can discern his enemy ' s weakness and his own inner strength .
Will Shiva ' s son rise to the challenge before it is too late ? The world waits with bated breath . . .
