In this exciting second part of Kalki R Krishnamurthy's historic magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan, our hero Vallavarayan Vandhiyathevan's adventures continue as he rides into marshy areas, meets a mysterious girl and becomes the object of intense suspicion by the wily Pazhuvettarayars. Meanwhile, Kundhavai Piratti, princess of the Chozha empire is thrown into confusion and outrage, while the beautiful but poisonous Nandhini Devi weaves more deceitful webs to ensnare her enemies. She will stop at nothing to bring about the downfall of the Chozhas ... but will the scions of that royal clan escape in time? Read on to find out.

Sword of Slaughter finds us at an exciting cliffhanger following the end of Book 3 - have Vandhiyathevan and Arulmozhi Varmar truly been saved? What of their fate in the land of their birth, Chozha Nadu? Are the Pazhuvettarayars truly stirring the country in a revolt against their favourite prince? Why does the alluring Nandhini Devi insist on meeting allies within crumbling palaces? Why does Madhuranthaka Thevar ride his stumbling horse through fields, on a rainy night? And why does Vanathi, that shrinking, timid violet, leave her charming mentor to go on a solitary journey? Then, there are our trusted friends, whose fates are also unclear: Is Sundara Chozhar still bedridden? What of the canny Anbil Aniruddhar and his cunning disciple Azhwarkkadiyaan? And what of the light of the Chozhas, princess Kundhavai herself?
