Exiled by his uncle even if not in name, Yudhishtira is determined to gain allies, something he cannot do when under the eyes of his uncle's and cousins' spies in Varanavata. Faking his death may seem a bit extreme, but he's sure he has no choice if he's to break this stalemate. Yudhishtira is certain that Suyodhana, his hated cousin, will be blamed for his supposed death, so it's a win for him, anyway. Vasushena and Suyodhana are pleased with the news of Yudhishtira's death, but the rumours that Suyodhana is behind it has them seething. When it turns out that Yudhishtira is not dead, and he wins the hand of Draupadi and an alliance with both Panchala and Dwaraka, they know that they have to tread carefully. Suyodhana is even ready to divide the Kingdom to get rid of his cousin. The province of Khandava will do nicely. Because Khandava is a vast jungle inhabited by the Nagas who don't acknowledge Hastinapura's suzerainty. But, Yudhishtira has no choice but to accept its kingship if he's to ever achieve his ambitions. Some may baulk at genocide, but Yudhishtira has never baulked at anything that needed to be done. If that's what it takes to win Khandava for himself, he's ready to exterminate the Nagas. The third book of the Jaya! Series continues the conflicts, trials and tribulations of the Kurus and their friends, allies and enemies.
