  • Summary

  • Audible presents His Majesty's Tiger, an Audible Original. On a warm summer night, in Samrat Prem Singh’s absence, his pet tiger Vanraj is found murdered in the grounds of the Awadhpuri Palace. It falls on Rani Sukanya’s shoulders to investigate the brutal murder. With a toddler to take care of, a murder to investigate, and a sister-in-law to welcome, Rani Sukanya needs trustworthy allies by her side. She seeks the help of the Mayawar Guild — the crown’s Guild of Sorcerers — to investigate the murder of the tiger. However, the Guild is busy investigating a theft of their own. The Amayastra, known to be the most powerful magical weapon in the realm, is stolen from the vaults of the Mayawar Guild the same night when the tiger is found murdered. Kasim, a powerful Mayawar of the Guild, is called upon to assist Rani Sukanya in both the murder investigation and the theft of the weapon. When Kasim stumbles upon a dark secret, it threatens to unravel the very nature of reality and plunge the realm into chaos. Disclaimer:This show is meant for Listener’s entertainment.

     His Majesty's Tiger
    Apr 21 2022
    The world of Awadh is established as we open the scene in the Awadhpuri palace. Rani Sukanya finds out about the death of Vanraj, His Majesty’s pet tiger. We’re introduced to Mayawar Kasim, a high-ranked Mayawar — sorcerer — in the Mayawar Guild. He finds out about the missing weapon, the Amayastra. Rani Sukanya holds the darbaar and declares the news to her subjects. The coroner reveals that the wounds of Vanraj are magical in nature. It’s inferred that the tiger might have been murdered, and that too by someone who knew magic. Suspicion immediately falls on the Mayawar Guild. Rani Sukanya sends a diplomatic letter to the Guild.

    News of Rani Priyadarshini’s — the sister of Samrat Prem Kumar Singh — arrival reaches the capital via a paigam. In the midst of chaos, Sukanya’s sister-in-law’s arrival could stir unnecessary trouble. Meanwhile, Sukanya’s letter is received by the Mayawar Guild. Mayawi Pallawi and Mayawar Kasim discuss their options — they’re both being blamed and asked for assistance — because Vanraj’s wounds are magical in nature. Moreover, they’re being asked to reach out into the past and find out the identity of the murderer once and for all. If only it were that easy. Pallavi decides to sort this doublespeak and demands an audience with Sukanya. Even as the chaos promises to die down, Samrat Prem Kumar Singh’s dead body arrives inside the palace in the middle of the night, plunging the realm in grief and further chaos.

    Apr 21 2022
    The funeral of Samrat Prem Kumar Singh is held and Rani Sukanya is now crowned Maharani, Samragyi, the ruler of the realm. Rani Priyadarshini arrives at the death of her own brother and breaks down in the arms of Sukanya. Even as both women grieve, a soul stone is found inside the body of Vanraj after Kasim applies a complex spell on the body. Pallavi arrives at the palace and discloses this news to Rani Sukanya. Both deaths couldn’t have happened in a vacuum, and thus it’s inferred that Vanraj’s death — murder — was an act of war. The first suspicion falls on Indraneel, a renegade Mayawar of the Guild who was banished two years earlier because undocumented use of magic, causing friction in Awadh’s relations with Kalkanagar. Rani Sukanya orders all efforts to be focused on finding the murderer. The hunt for Indraneel begins.

Title is misleading

s/b Murder of his Majesty's Tiger. According to the title this should be about a Tiger. However apparently according to the description, the tiger is murdered (probably early on) so we don't get a chance to follow the Tiger's character over the story unless it's using flashbacks. My cats and I are not interested in the story.

Abrupt ending

Overall an enjoyable story and performance, but the ending feels very unresolved. Not all of the main plot points have been addressed.
