Search results: Hmm, some hits for a book by someone named Soumya Nandana Krishnan titled "The Immortal Empire". That's from 2017, according to the first search result.

Another article is about her book being published, and there's a YouTube video where she talks about her work. There's also a website mentioning her as an author and poet.
First, I'll check possible spellings. "Soumya Nandana Krishnan" could be a combination of Indian names. Soumya might be a first name, and Krishnan is a common Tamil or Malayali surname. Nandana might be part of her name or a title. Let me do a quick search to see if there's any information on her.
The book "The Immortal Empire" is a historical fiction set in the 8th century, which is part of the Chera dynasty in Kerala. It's a fictionalized account based on historical events.

There's also a Facebook post mentioning her receiving the 'Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award' for the book. soumya nandana krishnan
I need to make sure that the details are accurate. The Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award is a significant award for Malayalam literature, so if she's a recipient, that's an important point to include.

Let me check again.
So, she's an Indian author and poet. The book "The Immortal Empire" seems to be her first novel. I should structure the content covering her background, works, achievements, themes, and maybe personal details if available. Let's see what else there is. Search results: Hmm, some hits for a book
