Mrityunjaya, the death conqueror: The story of Karna
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
Mrityunjaya tells the story of Karna, one of the great figures of the Mahabharata, in his own voice. Born to Kunti before her marriage and raised as the son of a humble charioteer, Karna grows up with a sense of being neither fully accepted nor fully belonging. Despite the scorn he meets because of his origins, he develops a fierce pride, skill with weapons and a deep loyalty to Duryodhana, who offers him recognition and a place among kings. The novel follows his search for dignity and identity, his conflicts with rivals and with the gods, and the moral choices that shape his life. Set against the epic rivalry of the Kaurava and Pandava houses, it explores fate, duty and honour.
