Description

This South Asian inspired young adult fantasy is a perfect blend of Percy Jackson and Naruto: Shippuden, with a fast-paced plot and a fresh take on magic and mythologies.

One stormy afternoon, Iśva Raman is waylaid by a demon Asura, who demands that he surrender the Seed. Raman, however, has never heard of this Seed.

Confused and frightened, Raman is whisked away to a hidden temple where he learns about his accursed past and the incredible power of the Cosmic Seed. With the fate of the world at stake, Raman must find a way to keep the Seed out of the hands of the Asuras, or risk losing everything he holds dear.

Filled with ancient magic, mythical demons, friendships, plot twists, and plentiful humour, The Tale of Iśva Raman is a must-read for fans of coming of age fantasy.
