Synopsis "Ka: The Story of Garuda "

The skies shook, then came rains of fire. Yet Garuda, the big, black eagle, pierced through the walls of heaven to snatch away the soma. He had to. That was the only way he could free his mother. With superb artwork, this is a fascinating version, adapted from the original international bestseller.
