Description

Lonesome songs of patriots dead… forgotten by the bards of Hindustan.

The haunting tale of a cursed ancient city, and of a ruthless foreign marauder.

Condemned to the crypts of history… a dark chapter, etched in red ink by white opium hands. It is the tale of a war immortal, long buried in the false coffins of a so-called rebellion.

As the magnificent Bandookbaaz risks everything in favor of life, the metropolis of Delhi emerges as the epicentre of an imperial genocide. A nation erupts in violent revolution – even as one extraordinary man stands between the hate of millions… and the love of one.

The Devil himself infiltrates the realm of men – guised in the unholy trinity of Theo the Reaper, Nicholson the God, and Hodson the Executioner.

Mastaan, Chhagan, Zafar, Manglo, D’Cruze, Shahbaaz, the Dervish, Fay and Ghalib – all are mere pawns in the savage hands of fate.

Befell a curse, on a trail of blood,
the measure of time forgotten;
He waits, he grunts, the dark djinn hunts,
till the grave of Delhi turns rotten.

    1857 SWORD OF MASTAAN, is part two of the first books MASTAAN. I have read both of them and you should go fo it too.

  14. Rajat

    Great effort, clean plot with just the right amount of twists and turn. However the best part in where the 2nd part ends. Can’t wait for another one in this series.

    My friend recommended this book to me, I did not think much of it until I heard about it once again from my professor. I was curious and there I was between reality and fiction.

    I would totally recommend this.

  18. Vishnu

    1857 is about the first war of Independence in India, re-imagined by the author. I would suggest one MUST read this one.
