Ideally, Kama should have been happy. But what he felt was apprehension
and there was no shaking the feeling that he had been tempered with fire
to prepare him solely for what lay ahead. Kamadeva, the charming wielder
of the sugarcane bow and the flower-tipped arrows, born out of the
wellspring of Brahma's latent passion, has for long remained an enigma.

adventures, as well as his heady romance with Rati, his chief consort.

the art of lovemaking, Kamadeva lives a dream life in the magnificent
Kingdom of Amaravathi-until danger strikes when he incurs the wrath of
Shiva because of a preordained curse. Follow Kama as he hurtles towards
his destiny and the Destroyer's dreaded third eye. Find out if he will
rise from the ashes to reign supreme as the King of Hearts or if he will
be doomed to spend an eternity as Ananga - the bodiless one. In
