About the Book

Written by scientist-turned-author J. U. Menon, Borne by Varuna: Panchabhutam Series Book I is a magnificent mythological fiction and fantasy epic set in the rich historical tapestry of the Mahabharata. The high-stakes fantasy adventure follows Rajkumari Chitra of Jālaka, a kingdom left without a direct male heir. Destined to succeed but exiled from her homeland due to a dark, unyielding prophecy, Chitra refuses to submit to a passive fate. Disguising themselves as young boys, she and her fiercely loyal companion Saubha enter a prestigious gurukul to master the arts of statecraft, physical combat, and warfare. Competing against elite rival warriors, Chitra's ambition leads her to vie for the legendary Varunāstra—a divine, mythological weapon of catastrophic power. However, Chitra's triumph is brutally cut short when her revered guru is assassinated by cold-blooded, shadowy killers from Dvipura. Gripped by grief and fury, Chitra rallies an unlikely and spectacular coalition of gurukul companions, celestial Gandharvas, musical Kinnaras, and powerful Rakshasas to march against Dvipura’s massive, unstoppable legions. With her royal Swayamvara fast approaching, she must conquer the odds, defeat a tyrannical army, and convince both her father and the citizens of Jālaka that she alone is born to claim the crown.
