The Wrath of the Hellfires release date -Vikramaditya Veergatha 4
Vikramaditya Veergatha is a mytho-fiction series by Shatrujeet Nath. Earlier, it was planned to be a trilogy known as Vikramaditya Trilogy. Later, it was called Vikramaditya Veergatha when it was decided that there will be four books in total instead of three.
All the books of the series were released at an interval of one and a half to two years.
The fourth book of the series, The Wrath of the Hellfires was going to be released in March 2020, but due to Covid-19 pandemic, the publisher could not manage to release it on time. Everyone including me was eagerly waiting for the fourth book and were very disappointed when it wasn't out. The book got delayed by nine months.
But the good news is that finally, The Wrath of the Hellfires was recently released on 20 December 2020. The book is now available for orders on amazon.

I've already ordered my copy as soon as it was available for pre-order. I started reading Vikramaditya Veergatha back in 2015 and have been reading all the books in the series. Indian mythology fiction is my new favourite these last few years. You can read the review of The Wrath of the Hellfires here. However, there might be some minor spoilers here and there, so be careful.
There are lots of books in Indian mythology by authors like Amish Tripathi, Anand Neelkanthan, Ashwin Sanghi among many others. Over the past 5-6 years, this genre has cultivated an interest among teenagers and youths of India alike. Chances are you've already read books by one of these authors.
I would like to mention some of the books that are my favourite and some that I'm planning to read in the future.
1. Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathi - https://amzn.to/2YSyVTK
2. Raavan - Enemy of Aryavarta by Amish Tripathi - https://amzn.to/3dmHWKh
3. Tarikshir- The Awakening by Khayaal Patel (Must read) - https://amzn.to/2DYpw6C
4. Aryavarta Chronicles by Krishna Udayshankar - https://amzn.to/2YZlqSj
There are plenty of them and I will keep adding them when I complete reading them. You can mention in the comment section your favourite and I will add it here.
However, before you read this fictional works, make sure you've read the original versions of Ramayan (by Valmiki) and Mahabharat (by Ved Vyas) and similar other ancient texts like Shiv Puran and Vishnu Puran etc. Without reading these books you cannot really understand Indian culture, values, morals and lessons that you can learn from it.
Reading fictional mythology books only provide you with alternative stories imagined by the authors. You may or may not find it enjoyable depending on your previous knowledge and faith. But at the end of the day, they are fictional and you should read it as fiction too. That's the best way to read these books so as to not get your feelings hurt when there's a distorted version of what you've been told or have read from your childhood.
