When sixteen-year-old Sadashiv is forced to leave his village, he has no idea that he will shortly become part of a legendary band of soldiers, united under the most inspiring Maratha ruler of all time, Shivaji. As Shivaji and his men fight for the independence of their land from the invading rulers of more powerful kingdoms, Sadashiv learns how to fight against overwhelming odds for a leader who inspires love and trust. Crafty stratagems and close loyalties, midnight rides and dangers at high noon make this book a truly gripping read.
