this graphic retelling of the war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas.
Ashwatthama, a reluctant warrior commits the ultimate crime and must pay
for it by wandering the universe, friendless and alone for all eternity.
A graphic reminder that war can brutalize even the best of men and that
revenge is seldom worth the price. Cursed to wander the universe,
friendless, alone and in pain, Ashwatthama has eternity to ponder his
crimes and to yearn for forgiveness. Can he escape his terrible past and
find peace or will he be doomed to live forever?
In the second volume of Campfire's Kaurava Empire series we focus on the
story of Ashwatthama, the son of great guru and weapons master Drona,
teacher of the Kauravas and Pandavas. When war comes to the empire,
Ashwatthama is reluctant to choose sides as he is friends with members
of both the Kaurava and Pandava families, but in the end he sides with
his father, following him into battle against the Pandavas. When Drona
is killed through trickery on the battlefield, Ashwatthama swears
vengeance and his revenge is bloody and terrible.
