Experience the Ramayana as you’ve never seen it before in this high-octane retelling of Hanuman’s legendary leap to Lanka.

In the second volume of the Ananda Katha series, the stakes of the epic reach a fever pitch. While the world remembers the burning of Lanka, few know the intricate details hidden within the Ananda Ramayana, the secret history of Ravana’s marriage to Mandodhari, the profound despair of a messenger in a foreign land, and the unyielding strength of a Queen held captive in a garden of sorrows.

From the Marriage of a Demon King to the Roar of the Devotee.

Of Fire and Flight takes readers on a 9-story journey through the heart of the Sara Kanda of the Ananda Ramayana. Witness the transformation of Hanuman from a humble messenger into a cosmic force of justice.
