Veera, the old tiger king of Mahovann, is planning to retire. But his last big decision is an unfortunate one; he must send his trusted friend and lieutenant Bhairav to prison.
Bhairav’s son, the mighty Taranath, seeks revenge for what he believes is an unjust decision. Guided by Daaga the fox, he imprisons the king’s son Ustaad and sends the prince’s mate Sultana and their cubs into exile.
Daaga and Taranath then scheme to eliminate the entire tiger family. Do they succeed? Will Ustaad break free? Will Sultana save her cubs? Who will deliver the creatures of the great forest from the dark age that has come upon it?
The Tiger, the Bear and the Battle for Mahovann is a story about self-belief and facing up to insurmountable odds. Set in the animal kingdom, it is also as much a primer to India’s incredible wildlife diversity as it is a riveting tale about the choices we make and the true meaning of justice.
Akshay Manwani is father to eleven-year-old Naina and two-year-old Noorie, a loopy retriever. Akshay has chased gibbons and hornbills in India, gorillas and giraffes in Africa and koala bears and kookaburras in Australia.
Having authored two books on Hindi cinema and appearing on television as a National Basketball Association (NBA) expert, Akshay’s only remaining ambition, before he goes completely bald, is to visit every national park and wildlife sanctuary in India.
He lives in Mumbai and can be followed on Twitter @AkshayManwani and on Instagram @manwani.akshay.
