Today, He is a God. 4000 years ago, He was just a man.

The hunt is on. The sinister Naga warrior has killed his friend Brahaspati and now stalks his wife Sati. Shiva, the Tibetan immigrant who is the prophesied destroyer of evil, will not rest till he finds his demonic adversary. His vengeance and the path to evil will lead him to the door of the Nagas, the serpent people. Of that he is certain.

The evidence of the malevolent rise of evil is everywhere. A kingdom is dying as it is held to ransom for a miracle drug. A crown prince is murdered. The Vasudevs - Shiva's philosopher guides - betray his unquestioning faith as they take the aid of the dark side. Even the perfect empire Meluha is riddled with a terrible secret in Maika, the city of births. Unknown to Shiva, a master puppeteer is playing a grand game.

In a journey that will take him across the length and breadth of ancient India, Shiva searches for the truth in a land of deadly mysteries - only to find that nothing is what it seems.

Fierce battles will be fought. Surprising alliances will be forged. Unbelievable secrets will be revealed in this second book of the Shiva Trilogy, the sequel to the #1 national bestseller, The Immortals of Meluha.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Sequel!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2020

Liked this one as well!! It starts from where the narrative ends in "Immortals of Meluha". The way he has included the character "Parshuram" is really interesting. In a sequel, it is always challenging to maintain the intensity, especially if the first part was very successful. Amish manages the continuity very effectively, and is able to retain the intensity at the same level, as a result this book is equally good.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Secret of the Nagas - brilliant sequel..!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2013
Verified Purchase
A brilliant sequel to the first novel of the Shiva Trilogy. I could not have asked for more. Amish has done a wonderful job to bring out this fast-paced and action packed thrilling ride complete with drama, action, devotion, loyalty, philosophy, spirituality and vengeance spiced up with romance, conspiracy and deception.

Shiva is destined for greatness and it is his karma to find evil. Additionally, he aims to avenge the death of his best friend by killing the evil Naga, known as Lord of the People by the Nagas, and bring end to evil by finally destroying the Nagas. His wise and brave wife Sati has been a true companion in this quest. But a bitter-sweet revelation of her past surfaces motivating Shiva to uncover the secret of the Nagas.

What is evil? Can good exist without evil or are good and evil two sides of the same coin? The book tries to find answers to these questions. A wonderfully thought-provoking and fascinating sequel with a great plot and a fair share of twists and turns. This praiseworthy book left me more than ever to read the final book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The second book was better than the first one
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2015
Verified Purchase
When I was close to completing the first book, The Immortals of Meluha, I decided not to read the second book in the Trilogy. The first book had a cliffhanger. Due to my closure issues, I found it necessary to read the second book.

The second book was better than the first one. There were a lot of twists in the plot, which I could not predict.The twists got me hooked till the end. In this book, we understand a lot more about the Nagas and the quest of Shiva to find evil. I liked the way Amish Tripathi used the Indian Mythology as the basis for this book. The fundamentals are there but are modified to give a new flavor.

It was a great book. I am currently reading the third book now.

The three books in this Trilogy are beyond anything I'd read in a very, very long time. It may be helpful for the reader to be familiar with the Hindu myths, but it is definitely not necessary. This is probably one of the most popular series in India right not and I was completely blown away by the story line, the character profiles and the drama that so combines all of the Myths and holds together flawlessly. I actually read each book in one day and was literally ready to begin the series again except I had to share the books. Amish did an exceptionally stupendous job of storytelling.

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2013

By this book Amish had become comfortable with the form of the novel and could focus on telling a good story. This book has good action as well as interesting bits of philosophy. The context still has too many religions stumbling over each other, but he manages it better than in the first book. Unlike too many writers, Amish's awareness of geography is a real plus. He also develops much greater character-depth in this book. His increasing self-confidence comes through in his writing here. He may rely on a last-page cliff-hanger too much, but overall he handles this second book quite well.

4 stars to the first book and 5 to the last. This one, I think is weak comparatively. The war events are so taken out of Hollywood movies like Braveheart; the military formations and tactics are so Roman! Come on. The author has great imagination as evidenced from other books, and that is not employed here.

The pace is fine and the plot is good. Overall, you need to read it to complete the story, but this could have been much more than just part 2.

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2014

The author has shown great imagination in writing book and used words in simple and easy way. It has spiritual touch. I loved the talks between Shiva and Vasudevs about how "the change is only constant in life" and how the duality is necessary to maintain balance. Evil is not evil until it reaches to rise to total annihilation. Laws and orders are good only when are strong, while declining it gives birth to greed and corruption. Lots of other important ways of life were revealed. Highly recommended.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 6, 2022

When rulers compete for power, they always look for someone to blame. In Amish Tripathi's brilliant trilogy we heard in book one about the evil of the Nagas. But now that Shiva the Neelkanth understands his mission to find and destroy evil, is it all that straightforward. The lessons we learn along the way about prejudice, judgement, and the scapegoating of those that do not fit in is as relevant today as it was in the ancient times that Amish sets his books. Another tour de force, and a book I could not put down.
