Publisher's Summary

Lanka will burn. Darkness will perish.

But can light endure?

India, 3400 BCE.

Greed. Rage. Grief. Love. Smouldering tinder, waiting to trigger a war. But this war is different. This one is for Dharma. This war is for the greatest Goddess of them all.

Sita has been kidnapped. Defiantly, she dares Raavan to kill her—she'd rather die than allow Ram to surrender.

Ram is beside himself with grief and rage. He prepares for war. Fury is his fuel. Calm focus, his guide.

Raavan thought he was invincible. He thought he'd negotiate and force a surrender. Little did he know....

The first three books of the second-fastest-selling book series in Indian publishing history—the Ram Chandra series—explore the individual journeys of Ram, Sita and Raavan. In this, the epic fourth book of the series, their narrative strands crash into each other and explode in a slaughterous war.

Will Ram defeat the ruthless and fiendish Raavan, constrained as he is by the laws of Dharma? Will Lanka burn to a cinder or fight back like a cornered tiger? Will the terrible costs of war be worth the victory?

Most importantly, will the Vishnu rise? And will the real enemies of the land fear the Vishnu? For fear is the mother of love.

Contains an exclusive bonus chapter, read by Amish, to recap everything that has happened in the Ramchandra series before War of Lanka.

Less is more

Book 4 background sound effects and music totally detracts from a great nuanced story. It’s an altogether too busy assault on the ears: part of the listening joy is using one’s imagination, not contend with silly bird noises. The new narrator also doesn’t help either. Audible if you must, have a no music option included in the app settings. Why introduce a new format for 4th instalment? Consult the listeners first please. I’ve not seen a review on the previous instalments requesting background sound effects….stop it, or give app users a choice. Disappointed

Sagar Arya should have been the narrator

Rushed out to finish the narration. I’d say It’s read out rather than narrating. Not impressed with the background noise.

Great story ruined by pathetic reading and music

Why can’t it be read in a sombre tone with just the book. The whole audiobook experience is ruined by non nuanced acting and by the music that at times is absolutely useless and provides a distraction from what is happening. Sure scenes of war could be depicted and actually using sounds along with the reading when events call for it would work but the music is TERRIBLE. I had to return the book and go back to my kindle version because of this. A great read ruined by bollywood aspirations maybe?
