Light of the North Star is a mixed-media epic poem comprised of 24 books with stunning artwork and tells the tale of two empires from Ancient Greece and India following the Trojan War and the flood that submerged the city of Dwaraka. This unsung tale reveals the trials and tribulations of royal families on the cusp of what Hesiod would later describe as the Age of Iron, and what Vyasa would depict as the Age of Discord or Darkness. Part I includes Books I through VIII, and introduces a multitude of characters, including King Solon, Queen Argeia, Prince Diokles, Princess Selene, King Sarvagya, Queen Radhasati, Prince Dharmajyoti, and Princesses Esha and Isani, along with the wise counselors Echephron and Alanam, the general Meletus, the fierce warriors, Elasus and Vayodhas, and the mysterious Dark Riders. The work is an adventure story that straddles the Eastern and Western canons, and is a tale about the cycle of life, its trials and tribulations, faith and reason, friendship and betrayal, love and loss, and the pursuit of happiness. Bhattacharya 'chases Homer' in this work that fans of the Iliad, the Odyssey, Beowulf, Paradise Lost, and The Fairie Queen will be delighted with--and find their appreciation of classical literature renewed. The work also appears as an audiobook narrated by Hollywood actors, Dominic Keating (Star Trek) and Jean Gilpin (X-Men).
