On a huge battlefield stand two armies facing each other. The dust stirred by soldiers covers the sun.

Rain clouds shower flesh and blood, drenching the troops. Along the ground a wind rises; the small stones that the wind carries with it hit the warriors. With cinematic effects, full of cuts and intercuts, Vyasa-including 1600 electrifying visuals for hothearted adults-sets in motion the battlefield of Kurukshetra. From the birth of the Pandavas and the Kauravas to the interpenetration of life instincts and death instincts, this first book in this graphic series rolls out the beginning of the interplay of lust and violence, which gives to the tale of war, revenge and peace an unmatched regal look.
