A shelved story: GYROPPA: Two friends and a Prince
"Be careful what you wish for, my prince, for freedom has its own bargains. It comes with a cost. It is a prize for a price."
In Greenvalley, a town far from the Capital, in a nation surrounded by the Gyroppa, the towering mountains, two friends have wonderful plans for the coming summer holidays. Tree-houses and sports, fencing matches and swims - just to name a few. But most importantly, around the corner are the long awaited celebrations for the coronation of the nation's beloved but orphaned Prince. Food, drinks and fireworks! What can be better? But, all is changed when a once banished murderer raises fists again. Taken by nationwide shock, all hearts are quaked. Hope is lost as are many lives, and the two, together with a few friends, find themselves at the threshold of the most threatening, mysterious and mind-boggling adventure of their time, and it is wholly upon them to resolve it. Will they succeed? Or, won't they?
An adventure that takes place in the nostalgic setting of the late 1800s, "A shelved story: GYROPPA" is a story of love, friendship, family, suspense, mystery, and action - a summer fantasy for people of all ages to read and enjoy.

A wonderful story written with a remarkable imagination. It kept me glued to the story from the very beginning to the end. Congratulations Tharuka! Really proud that this fantasy tale has been woven by a brother from Sri Lankan origins. I'm looking forward to read its sequel. Keep up the good work!
