ABOUT
THE BOOK |
It is a story set in ancient India. The story of a young man, a Prince of the realm, who finds the monotony of life meaningless. Who, in the prime of youth, ensconced in the lap of luxury and dwelling in endless pleasures renounces all to go in search of a mystic treasure. Who embarks upon an unknown path, on an unknown journey, in an unknown quest to find an unknown treasure. This is the story of his amazing search for the ultimate treasure: the Stoic Stone. The Story of how he discovered it. And how the omens showed him the way. (From Publisher). |
