The Naraka Cycle - Sundar Nathan has been passionate about mythology and story-telling since he was a boy, when his grandmother Namagiri and his mother Saroja regaled him with tales from the great Indian epics - The Ramayana & the Mahabharata. Author Nathan grew up on the Ramayana and Mahabharata, classic Indian sagas which combine, as he has done here, elements of traditional Hindu beliefs, grand multi-faceted scenarios of intertwining rulers, religion, and romance, and pure fantasy.
He has subtly infused his work with an over-arching universalist viewpoint reflecting higher spiritual truths, represented in the words of Ravan's teacher. Nathan targets this complex tale to young adults, and no doubt older readers will also wish to immerse themselves in the new perspectives he brings to classic archetypes.
Sundar is an engineer and tech marketer. While pursuing a successful career in Silicon Valley, in 2014, Sundar embarked on a seven-year journey that culminated in his first mythological thriller ‘Ravan's Trial’.
