Journey to the Throne | A Story of Princes from the Gupta Kingdom

nisha.singh@harpercollins.co.in | 29 September 2022

One kingdom. Two brothers. A single throne.

Princes Rama and Chandra are the sons of Emperor Samudragupta.

Often called the Napolean of India, Samudragupta was both an invincible warrior and a faultless ruler – chivalrous, disciplined and moralistic.

While Prince Chandra is the ideal prince, hardworking and able, Prince Rama is the proverbial prodigal son who leans towards a life of luxury.

Chandra is trapped in a web of deceit by his jealous elder brother and has to fight several life-and-death battles to the throne.

Journey to the Throne is fraught with deceit, intrigue and untold drama.

A universal story of sibling rivalry and a ringside view of the underside of royal life – the risks, the uncertainty and the adversity.

Talking about the book, author Vani Mahesh says, ‘History never ceases to amaze me, especially when told through a story. When I came across an ancient play that showcased an event that transpired between the heirs to the Gupta throne, I felt it would make an excellent novel for young adults.’

Tina Narang, Publisher – HarperCollins adds, ‘Journey to the Throne will capture the reader’s attention at multiple levels – right alongside the historical drama, the palace intrigue, the battle for the throne are the very real, very universal emotions of one-upmanship, of ambition, of power, and of sibling rivalry. It’s set in the 4th century but it could just as well have been the 21st.’
