Summary: Kerala, cradles a past of profound antiquity within its lush embrace. Mist-laden hills, meandering rivers, and ancient forests stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era, rich with significant events. The very air seems to carry the echoes of legendary rulers, their sagas woven into the land’s fabric. Among these, the enigmatic figure of Cheraman Perumal forms a particularly compelling chapter. Tradition whispers of this powerful Chera king, who, in this narrative interwoven with both historical ambiguity and cultural significance, is said to have converted to Islam and journeyed to Arabia. This legend, while debated by historians, profoundly shapes Kerala’s unique cultural tapestry, highlighting its long-standing maritime connections. The tales of his departure, and the subsequent division of his kingdom, serve as the foundation for the origins of many prominent Kerala dynasties, ensuring his legacy continues to reverberate through the land, a testament to its enduring historical depth. Discerning readers are sure to enjoy this work of fiction with historical undertones. Heartfelt historical novel about the life of the last of the Perumals
