About this ebook

Will she fulfil her destiny or die trying?

 

When her family is murdered by the soldiers of the tyrant Mahisha, all Durga wants is revenge. But women aren't supposed to be warriors and her villagers are too scared of Mahisha's men to help her. Damodara, a mysterious stranger arrives and offers to train her in arms and Durga is only too happy to accept the offer even though it makes her an outcast in her own village.

 

A stranger from Damodara's past arrives in the village, bringing with him revelations that makes her question everything she knows about him. His connection to the underground rebellion that resists Mahisha is only one of the secrets he's been keeping. His eagerness to have her fight Mahisha, the most accomplished warrior of their times, is baffling.

 

Are all her doubts enough to avert the inexorable fate that awaits her, the mysterious prophecy that Damodara is determined to keep from her?

 

Durga is a Hindu mythology based low fantasy book, which will appeal to readers who like strong female leads, dark fantasy, morally grey characters, good vs evil and found family settings. It was a Rev Pit runner up in 2020. It has been called dark and gritty by reviewers. Be advised that there are themes that may be difficult for some readers, and check the warnings in the book.
