Description

« A rich and informative portal into past and present India. Gary Worthington is a delightful storyteller. » —Traveler’s India Magazine
In addition to experiencing battles, romance, and architectural and artistic achievements, readers will meet great religious teachers, including the Buddha, a Muslim saint, and a Hindu guru.
In the hunt for the legendary Mangarh Treasure, Vijay Singh, the capable and conscientious leader of the searchers, battles a corrupt political boss who imprisons the Maharaja of Mangarh and preys on the lovely princess Kaushalya.
Vijay fears that in Mangarh his secret may be exposed: he claims to be of the high Rajput caste, but in fact he was born an Untouchable outcaste in a nearby village.
4.5 star review averages on Amazon.com. Finalist for ForeWord magazine’s Book of the Year (fiction).
« Worthington has wonderfully captured the mystique and adventure-soaked atmosphere of Rajasthan, with its golden forts and the awe-inspiring desert. This is a fine book, whose carefully constructed story-line and obviously minutely-researched details make it a delight to read. » —The Statesman, New Delhi
