Kaikeyi: The Architect of Akhand Bharat
No one knew about the curse of the blind couple except Guru Vashistha. He did not share it with Kaikeyi either. Instead, the Rajguru conspired with the queen to exile Ram. Was Kaikeyi guilty of unintentional killing her husband, causing her own widowhood and other queens' bereavement by sending Ram to the Daṅḍakaraṇya for fourteen years?
The banishment of Ram was an unpardonable blunder, and the people of Ayodhya and the Koshala Army were ready to revolt against the new king. They wouldn't, at any cost, allow the coronation of Bharat. Ayodhya was on the brink of a civil war. The arrest of the queen and Bharat was imminent. How could Kaikeyi avert the bloody strife? She had only a few hours to decide and act. Will she succeed in preventing the coup? Whether the queen would be able to bring Ram back from Chitrakoot? The future of Akhaṅd Bhārat and the preservation of the Vedic culture were at the crossroads of history. Will the Warrior Queen successfully steer the Jambudwip clear of the fast-approaching turbulence or succumb to the pressure of family and her people?

Kudos to the author for bringing one of the powerful female characters in Ramayana to light. I love Kaikeyi, a warrior princess who married Nemi and became queen of Kosala. Unlike other queens, she is a warrior and was in the plan of Akhand Bharat. The story is narrated from the side of Kaikeyi and why she used the two boons and send Rama to dandaka and her goal.
We all have heard that Kaikeyi loved Ram more than her son Bharat but she decided to remove him as emperor of Kosala and banishment was the idea of wicked Mantra who manipulated her. The story written by the author explaining the decision, how valuable an asset she was to the empire of Dashrath and how she was keenly involved in governing the empire was narrated well.
I loved the writing style and the way each character and situation are narrated. If someone loved to read from the story of Kaikeyi and part of Ramayan from a different perspective, it's a perfect read for you!
