Dev/Asur - War in Heaven

By Nikesh Murali

Frank Miller's 300 meets George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones meets Indian Mythology in Dev/Asur - War in Heaven.

In the vast celestial empire of Indra, three warrior companions carry the weight of an unravelling world.

Tejas - a Gandharva Major whose faith has curdled into fury, haunted by a guilt he cannot name and a past he cannot outrun.

Shreya - an Apsara Captain who has clawed every inch of her rank from a command structure determined to keep her beneath it, fighting a war on two fronts - against her enemies, and against her own army's prejudice.

Balveer - a Yaksha warrior of devastating strength, carrying a grief decades old and a debt of vengeance that no amnesty has settled.

Against them: the fanatical Danava hordes of the dark wizard Chatur Jagan, the genocidal ambitions of the Asura emperor Ahiravan, and something far older and far worse than either - a being that predates the gods themselves, who has been watching, waiting, and arranging every conflict like moves on a board only it can see.

This is Indian mythology reimagined as military epic.

Perfect for fans of Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen - with its vast cosmology, brutal warfare, and soldiers who matter as much as gods. Readers of Conn Iggulden's battlefield intensity and Brandon Sanderson's intricate mythological world-building will find themselves immediately at home.
