A Prophecy...
"It was destined by a terrible curse…
For the heroic warrior to rescue an unfortunate lass…
Where a scheming sultan bade one to betray the land…
Before a maiden’s burden is etched in the sands of time…
… A prophecy would come to pass!"

Welcome!
Enter the site showcasing graphic-novel projects of writer/illustrator Shailendra Singh. His latest venture – SACRIFICE, is a historically based comic-book novel and a fictional re-telling of the legend of Queen Padmini, considered by many as India’s ‘Helen of Troy’.

Set in 13th century Chittor, the exotic and colorful land of India, it depicts the turbulent times when invading armies of the dreaded Afghan Alauddin Khilji descend upon this proud Hindu nation, triggering a series of devastating events. Into this maelstrom are thrust two individuals, brave Ratansen and the fair Padmini – their peaceful world suddenly immersed into the chaos that ultimately spawned the legendary tale which forms the backbone for this novel.

Depicted through the rich tapestry of Medieval India, it’s a saga where notions of honor and sacrifice transcend life itself.

Would Padmini’s legendary beauty inspire to end a terrible struggle and save their beloved land, or help destroy it forever?
