This is artful storytelling at its finest, with a rich narrative tapestry full of eloquent prose and poetic imagery that will keep you enthralled from beginning to end. You'll love Sigiriya. - Sunday Observer. Kasyapa was only five years old when they snatched him from his tiny village and brought him to the royal palace. Little did he know then that one day, he would be king. Nor that history would remember him for his spectacular Sky Palace - Sigiriya, which the ancient chronicles likened to a City of the Gods. Kasyapa, the illegitimate son of a king and a village maiden, is raised amidst the opulence of the royal court but shunned by his father. His destiny takes a dramatic turn when the treacherous Migara murders the king. Despite his questionable lineage, Kasyapa is the only person capable of safeguarding the kingdom. The unfolding events motivate him to incredible acts of courage and greatness. This is also the enchanting tale of Amira, a beautiful, red-haired, blue-eyed slave girl from a far-off land. From her humble beginnings, she transforms herself into a mesmerizing concubine who soon captures the king's heart. Yet, as their bond deepens, fate has other plans for these star-crossed lovers. "Sigiriya" will hold you spellbound as it paints a vivid portrait of self-discovery, friendship, romance, and destiny in an ancient world brimming with secrets and intrigue.
