The First Naad

An ancient power is stirring beneath Punjab. Four children have just woken it.When four strangers win places at a school built on an ancient mound above the rivers of Punjab, they expect strict teachers, cold mornings and cricket. They do not expect the school itself to be listening.Beneath its three weathered towers lies a secret older than any empire: Naad, the primordial sound from which all things were made. For thousands of years it has slept - hidden, guarded, and almost forgotten. Until now.As Aarav, Veer, Kavya and Meera begin to uncover what the Mound has been keeping, they awaken something extraordinary in themselves. And far away, in the dark places of the world, something ancient stirs for the first time in five thousand years - and turns towards them.Rooted in Hindu mythology and rich with adventure, friendship and wonder, The First Naad opens The Panchanad Chronicles - an epic fantasy series for readers, perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and the Aru Shah books.Book One of The Panchanad Chronicles.
