On 13 November 2010(A slightly overcast day, if you must know), Oxford book store, Nungambakkam, Chennai hosted the launch of the book Rise Of The Sword, part of the Prophecy series by Priya K.

Priya is 19 year old from Chennai, doing her final year Literature in Stella Maris College, Chennai. Just when she was about to take the beaten path of DEAd(Doctor, Engineering and Accountancy), a magical moment changed everything. The room had an air of expectation and the event began a little later than expected at 5:40 PM.

The event began, with the author introducing the audience to the book- Neha Sharma and atlantologist Nick Halliday go in search of the lost city of Atlantis. They end up in Lemuria, where a prophecy changes Neha’s life forever.
