Vyamana's Treasure
Description
Rumours have always existed of a large, hidden treasure from ancient Indian times, based on the legend of Vyamana the Accursed – the tragic legend of how a great King lost everything, his kingdom and his unimaginable wealth in an attempt to conquer the three worlds; a tale lost in the mists of time, long forgotten, an enigma to historians and researchers, some of whom believe that the events described in the story are real.
A renowned historian and his friends have spent their lifetime trying to prove the legend is real, in an attempt not only to rewrite the history of the modern world, but also to find his hidden riches. As they sift through clues in Indian history, right from the times of Ashoka the Great to Emperor Akbar, and especially those left behind by the hidden ‘jewel’ in Akbar’s court, they become more and more convinced that the riches accumulated by Vyamana exist, but its final resting place still remains unknown.
A secret group of influential persons plan a coup against the present system of government, aiming to overcome the decay and corruption of the present times in their efforts to restore the lost glory of India, and this treasure is their means for funding their goal to establish a new order. Unfortunately for them, the historian is accidentally murdered when they try to extort information from him. The historian’s daughter is caught up in the events, and with the help of an ex-army man, tries to unravel the reason behind her father’s murder.
From the mountains of the Himalayas to the islands of the Andamans, they rush, not only to find the treasure, but also to expose the murderers as well as this plot against the very fabric of democratic India. Unfortunately, the trail is littered with dead bodies and double crosses, and they do not know whom to trust…
