Amid the snow-laden peaks of Kashyap's sacred hermitage, a tale of rivalry and retribution begins. Kadru, driven by earthly ambition, wagers with her gentle sister Vinata over the divine horse Uchhaishravas's tail. Her cunning deceit—darkening it with her unborn Nagas—enslaves Vinata for a thousand years under the serpents' cruel reign. Vinata's first son, Aruna, emerges incomplete from her impatience, but her second, Garuda, bursts forth as a golden Sun-Eagle, his power shaking Devaloka itself. Learning of his mother's plight, Garuda swears a vow that will define his destiny: to break her chains, no matter the cost.

The Nagas, Kadru's thousand venomous sons, demand the Amrit, the Nectar of Immortality, from the gods' guarded realm—an impossible task designed to crush him. Garuda's oath propels him skyward, battling Agni's fire, Vayu's storms, and Indra's Vajra.

Garuda's Vow is a breathtaking retelling of Indian mythology, blending epic fantasy with spiritual depth. It explores filial devotion, the triumph of dharma, and the fragile balance of the cosmos. From a hermitage steeped in sorrow to the heavens' golden heights, Garuda's oath becomes a legend of justice and sacrifice, his wings a symbol of hope against the serpents' lingering poison.
