Summary

It begins to dawn on the nine-year-old Sambhaji that his father has fled from the clutches of the Mughal badshah Aurangzeb and left him behind. He must now find his way back home with the help of strangers....

Under the shadow of an illustrious father, Sambhaji finds himself thrust into the Maratha-Mughal conflict from a tender age. His mistakes cost him dearly and when his father suddenly dies and he becomes the chhatrapati, it is as if he has inherited a crown of thorns.

In the nine years that follow, he faces a constant battle - internally, as palace intrigues simmer to kill him, and externally, as Aurangzeb descends on the Deccan with full military force. 

Even Chhatrapati Shivaji had never faced a full-blown Mughal aggression. 

Will he be able to protect the Maratha nation and Swaraj that was his father's dream? Will he prove to be a worthy son to his father - in life as well as in death?

History has been unfair to Sambhaji, but it can't deny that he inspired a generation of Maratha warriors, who eventually ensured the end of Aurangzeb's jihad.
