Paperback / Hardback

In this incredible retelling of the Mahabharata, Shakuni is no longer the villain history remembers, but a man forged in the fires of familial massacre. A wily strategist, yes; but also Shakuni the King, the brother, the son, the husband, and the father. The Hawk’s Quest is a gripping narrative of the single-minded execution of a vow of revenge. But it is not one born of malice, rather of a desperate need to reclaim the stolen dignity of lineage revealing the raw humanity beneath the strategist’s mask.
