Karn was the closest friend of Duryodhan. To him, loyalty was more important than the emperor's throne. Karn sacrificed his life for his friend and master, fighting on behalf of the Kaurav against the Pandav in the Kurukshetra war. This book gives the complete story in less than 10,000 words, in easy to understand language, complemented by colourful illustrations with blurbs. A glossary of difficult words, in the end, helps in a better understanding of the story.

Karn is one of the most fascinating characters of the Mahabharat. He was Kunti's son and the eldest of the Pandav brothers. But neither he nor the Pandavs knew this. A charioteer had brought him up. Though really born as a divine prince, he was treated as a suta putra (son of a charioteer) all his life. His own mother did not acknowledge him as her eldest son when he appeared as a majestic youth at the competition organised for princes, who were Dron's students. Although, he is among the mightiest of warriors of all times he was constantly downgraded and insulted by Bhishm and Dron.
