The Jewelled Crown

Ponniyin Selvan, Book 4

It’s the calm before the storm.

Crown Prince Aditha Karikalan is riding hell-for-leather towards Kadambur to honour Ilaiya Rani Nandhini’s kind invitation—while Vandhiyathevan is hurrying in the same direction, hell-bent on thwarting their meeting. Mandhakini Devi is abducted by ruffianly unknowns towards Thanjavur—while Poonguzhali, her niece, is hastening thither, to rescue her aunt. Peril threatens Sundara Chozhar, confined to his sickbed and at the mercy of Pandiya assassins—while Ilaiya Piratti strains every nerve to protect her father.

Will all three succeed in their quests? Will Arulmozhi Varmar recover from his ague? Will Aniruddhar’s schemes and stratagems save the royal family? Will Azhwarkkadiyaan’s efforts bear fruit? And lastly … will Chozha Nadu be free of the tangled web of conspiracies?

Book 4 of Ponniyin Selvan: The Jewelled Crown sheds some illumination on these tantalizing questions … so read on.

Fantastic narration

Just finished book 5 of Ponniyin Selvan. I have been on a listening marathon of book 3 4 and 5 in the last month. I wanted to get it done before the PS2 movie came out. I finished just in the nick of time.
It’s pretty much filled every waking moment besides the time I am actually working.
Superb job on the narration. The voice modulation and speech clarity was superb and I throughly enjoyed it.

Thank you for the English version audio book for a tamil speaker but not a tamil reader. But I have heard about this book my entire life and throughly enjoyed it.

Kudos on a job well done.

Fantastic literature!

Absolutely loved all 5 volumes! Captivating characters, plots and twists. Top class translation and narration.
