Summary
An action-packed and empowering South Asian fantasy epic. An
underdog story like no other – Kavithri will remind you
of fantasy heroes like Arya Stark, Fang Runin or Gideon the
Ninth. 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.
