Vengeance of Ravana (Ramayana Book 7)

With the demon king Ravana gone, the threat of the asuras has finally passed, and Rama has taken his place on the throne of Ayodhya. He hopes at last for a quiet life with Sita, but peace proves fragile. An old adversary escapes from the dark prison where he was held and brings an unsettling warning. Soon an army appears before the city gates, commanded by a mysterious figure armed with a fearsome weapon. Rama must decide whether his choices are guided by duty, or whether someone has been steering him toward ruin. This seventh book in Ashok K. Banker's retelling of the Indian epic opens a two-part finale, reshaping an ancient story of gods, kings and exile for new readers.
