Description
An action-packed South Asian epic fantasy featuring necromancers, jinn, and one seriously fearless heroine...
Meet Kavithri. Outcast. Underdog. Survivor.
Kavi is a Taemu. Her people, once feared berserkers and the spearhead of a continent-spanning invasion, are the dregs of Raayan society. Their spirits crushed. Their swords broken. Their history erased.
But Kavi has a dream and a plan. She will do whatever it takes to earn a place at the secretive mage academy, face the Jinn within its walls, and gain the power to rise above her station and drag her people out of the darkness.
Except power and knowledge come at a cost, and the world no longer needs a Taemu who can fight. So they will break her. Beat her down to her knees. And make her bleed.
But if blood is what they want, Kavi will give them blood. She will give them violence. She will show them a berserker's fury.
And she will make them remember her name.
An action-packed and empowering South Asian fantasy epic that fans of Jade City will love. An underdog story like no other - Kavithri will remind you of fantasy heroes like Arya Stark, Gideon the Ninth and Kaladin Stormblessed.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy. This is one of the best debut authors I have read in a very long time and I hope many many more people give this a read as it thoroughly deserves to do well. The worldbuilding is so amazingly rich (my only minor niggle is that at the beginning I slightly struggled with terms I was not familiar with mostly related to titles and clothing, but a quick google sorted me out). Kavi was a such a wonderful complex and relatable character to read. What really grabbed me is how well the plot was constructed, it was not predictable in any sense and kept me so gripped I could not put it down. The ending was beautiful. This will suit readers who like me love immersive epic fantasy - note that in comparison to most fantasy being published recently there is no romance in this. I really hope this book does well as I really would love to see more work from the author. Go read this book!
