Sons of Darkness

Product Information

For all of you are children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to darkness. It goes without saying that Satyabhama and the Silver Wolves weren't the characters worth highlighting here. In ADHYAYA II: ALL THAT GLITTERS, Mohanty focused the plot on Mati from Kalinga and Karna from Hastina. Karna was a character I felt a bit lukewarm at first, but this opinion instantly vanished after I read the first out of two sets of convergence chapters: SWAYAMVAR PART I and PART II, which I will talk about soon. Mati did not have much of an appearance in Sons of Darkness, but Karna somehow transformed into one of my favorite characters in the book, just like Satyabhama and the Silver Wolves I just talked about. Karna earned so much of my empathy. Though kind-hearted and mighty with his bow, he's frequently ridiculed, hated, and prejudiced simply due to his birth. As I said, being patient is so worth it with this novel. Once you reach the convergence chapters, you will reap the first sequence of rewards. Gourav: I am currently reading The Anarchy by William Dalrymple and Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert, and in fiction, I am reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin. I read multiple books simultaneously and consequently can die anytime under the TBR Tower. Sons of Darkness takes the wonderful cast of the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata and tosses them in a nihilistic world to usher in India’s first epic-fantasy series with grimdark tones. We all drink from, unconsciously or not, the fountain of our creative inspirations when we write. This book sprang from the smorgasbord of A Song of Ice and Fire, Malazan and Wheel of Time. I’m not saying SONS OF DARKNESS will read like these works. But if geopolitical dramas across kingdoms layered with brutality, caste-conflicts, dry humor and twists (and a South Asian touch) is something you love, I hope you will find it reflected in the writing in SONS OF DARKNESS. But before you fasten your seat-belts, do give my bipolar invitation below a further read. I was asked to draft this Author’s Note because the world of Sons of Darkness is completely different from what you may know about the Mahabharata from religious texts and TV shows. You will encounter strange new characters that were not part of the original epic poem. Old, loved characters take

Strong's 3761: Neither, nor, not even, and not. From ou and de; not however, i.e. Neither, nor, not even. Like Game of Thrones in an Indian alternative universe, Sons Of Darkness is an exhilarating, imaginative, genre-busting mash-up of high fantasy, timeless myth and ancient history, which heralds the arrival of a special new talent and a gripping new series in historical fantasy. -- Dan Jones This book sprang from the smorgasbord of A Song of Ice and Fire, Malazan and First Law.

They have talked to Gods, loved like animals, and written songs that would make Sister Mercy cry.

And his master commended the unjust manager [not for his misdeeds, but] because he had acted shrewdly [by preparing for his future unemployment]; for the sons of this age [the non-believers] are shrewder in relation to their own kind [that is, to the ways of the secular world] than are the sons of light [the believers].
