Read it when I was in school. Hari Narayan Apte sir is great at historical novel writing and did his job very well. The narration is intriguing and language and dialogues help in character-building. Author uses poetic narration like Povada (kind of ballad) to describe the scene effectively. Bravery of Tanaji Malusare is inspiring. A must read for history lovers.

The book is a fictional account of the historical seize of the Kondhana fort, which came to be known as Sinhagad. The hero of the book Tanaji, the brave warrior undertakes the perilous task of recapturing the fort. The book deals with the battle with the Mughal Commander Udaybhan Singh and the ultimate victory of the Marathas, leading to the martyrdom of Tanaji Malusare. A good one time read
