A Warrior's Path: An Asian Indian Epic Fantasy
“Fantastic action, intriguing world, and truly unique characters. This is really great fun. Highly entertaining, and highly recommended.”
– Dyrk Ashton, award-winning author of Paternus: Rise of Gods
Sweeping from the majestic city of Ashoka to the perilous Wildness beyond her borders, enter a world where Caste determines mystical Talents, the purity of Jivatma expresses worth, and dharma may be based on a lie.
Rukh Shektan has always understood duty. As a member of Caste Kumma, the warrior Caste, nothing else is acceptable. He is expected to take part in the deadly Trials, to journey the Wildness and protect the caravans linking Humanity’s far-flung cities. Though the mission is dangerous, Rukh’s hope and optimism are undaunted. Karma, however, is a fickle fiend. His caravan is destroyed by the monstrous Chimeras; twisted servants of their fearful goddess, Suwraith.
While Rukh survives the attack, events force him along an uncertain path. Morality becomes a morass – especially when he encounters a mysterious warrior, Jessira Grey, a woman whose existence ought to be impossible. The holy texts warn against her kind: ghrinas, children of two Castes, abominations. They are to be executed whenever discovered, but for the first time in his life, Rukh defies duty. Jessira may be the key to his city’s survival.
PRAISE
Great characters with a perfectly paced narrative. If you like fantasy, do yourself a favor. READ THIS BOOK!
-Amanda Triplett, Progressive Edits
…by and large one of the best new fantasies I’ve encountered in a long while. By laying the groundwork of his worldbuilding in traditional Indian ideas and social structures, author Davis Ashura gives us a story that’s fundamentally an Eastern epic, which is as refreshing as it is exciting.
– Geekritique
A Warrior’s Path series is quite the hidden gem in the fantasy genre, introducing its vast world and multi-dimensional characters through Book One: The Castes and the OutCastes…The world-building is excellent and the plot is strong. The characters are engaging and well-fleshed out.
