About The Book

“”Thicker than Blood””
Set in rural Western Uttar Pradesh between the 1980s and 2000s, The Legacy of Blood is a gripping crime thriller that explores the deep-rooted family feud between two generations of the Choudhary families. The conflict begins decades earlier, over a land dispute that escalates into a bitter battle for power, wealth, and influence.

The story focuses on the lives of the cousins, Pulkit Choudhary and Pankaj Choudhary , who are caught in a cycle of revenge and rivalry that consumes not just them but their entire families. What starts as a disagreement over a valuable piece of agricultural land slowly spirals into a deadly struggle for control over local businesses, politics, and criminal enterprises.

As the years pass, each generation’s ambition grows, leading to a series of violent confrontations, betrayals, and shifting alliances. Pulkit, driven by a desire to restore his father’s lost honor, dares to take risks and uses manipulation to break through the corrupt administrative system. Pankaj, in contrast, is more inclined towards justice, but in time resorts to enlisting notorious criminals to enforce his will.

Thicker than Blood is not just a story of family conflict, but a sharp commentary on the corrosive effects of greed, the thirst for power, and the complex interplay of land, business, and politics in rural India. The book captures the essence of a rapidly changing society, where old feuds and power struggles still dominate, even as modernity begins to creep in.
