Karna: The King Of Anga (পেপারব্যাক)

Twin sons...a mother with black blood in her... He was there. Right there, in the depth of monstrous trees intertwined with vines like some crooked old lady hands. His mother was there too. Not his real mother, though. But the one who accepted him when he was ousted by his royal family. She taught him everything about kingship and the ways of warfare, whatever she knew. On the last day though, when he was prepared and ready to go back to the world, she asked for a dakshini.m And he asked her what was it that she wanted, to which she laid a sharp, steel knife on the mossy ground. And whispered: "Kill me."
