Hiranyakashyapa: Book Two in the Mahaavtar Trilogy

Hunted by the vengeful Holika, Prahlad is inches away from drowning when he is saved and taken in by the remaining members of the Vishnusena.
Meanwhile, Narasimha has reached Kashyapuri, seeking redemption in the form of Prahlad. As he gets to know the boy, they grow close, and Narasimha becomes a father figure to Prahlad … until their fates collide when Hiranyakashyapa, having procured the Brahmshastra, decimates the empire of Agni and returns to Kashyapuri. Now, Narasimha must decide whether to kill Hiranyakashyapa and end his mad reign over Illavarti, or spare him for Prahlad’s sake.
