We are giving away 10 copies of ‘7 Secrets of Shiva’ for review. Here’s the excerpt:
Smeared with ash, draped in animal hide, he sits atop the snow-capped mountain, skull in hand, withdrawn, with dogs for company, destroying the world with his, indifference. He is God who the Goddess shall awaken. His name is Shiva. Locked in his stories, symbols and rituals are the secrets of our ancestors. This book attempts to unlock seven.

I wanted to review this book (7 Secrets of Shiva) but the click on the link took me to the page for reviewing ‘The Iron Fairy’. I have put in my ID on that page.
Can you please send 7 secrets of Shiva to me for review instead of the Iron Fairy
