The Chola Tigers: Avengers of Somnath | Amish | 2025

Step into 1025 CE India, where the destruction of the Somnath temple by Mahmud of Ghazni ignites a new mission of vengeance. In The Chola Tigers: Avengers of Somnath, Amish weaves a sweeping historical fiction tapestry of courage, unity, and defiance.

When the sacred Shiva Linga lies shattered and thousands are lost, five unlikely souls rise to answer the call — a Tamil warrior, a Gujarati merchant, a devotee of Lord Ayyappa, a scholar-emperor from Malwa, and the mighty Emperor Rajendra Chola himself. Together, they embark on a high-stakes quest to strike at the heart of Ghazni’s power.

From the grandeur of the Chola Empire to the bloody corridors of enemy courts, this epic is about vengeance that becomes dharma, and about unity forged through adversity. It’s the second installment in the Indic Chronicles and builds on the narrative introduced in Legend of Suheldev.
