Kavithri

Shortlisted for the Aurealis Awards
Action-packed and empowering South Asian epic fantasy - this is a twisted version of The Unbroken, Jade City and Gideon the Ninth.

'It was not predictable in any sense and kept me so gripped I could not put it down' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

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.

An no-holds-barred progression fantasy and empowering South Asian epic - featuring necromancers, djinn and visceral action sequences. An underdog story like no other, Kavithri is perfect for fans of Fonda Lee, Tamsyn Muir and John Gwynne.
