Shaturanga: The Story of Onus

By Brian Snelson and Rodney Sellars

To understand how it came to be you have to go back to another time--to a time when the thunder sleds ruled the wasteland--their roaring engines striking fear into the hearts of the nomad tribes. This was the Kingdom of Ravens. Assha had more to fear than most. She was pregnant--in violation of the Overpopulation Proclamation.The tiny entity growing inside her might get her killed, but he might also be the one who would change everything. Should Assha hide in the relative safety of her secluded village of Tholus, or risk it all out on the wasteland for the one chance to fulfill an age-old prophecy?Told in the oldest storytelling voice, Shaturanga departs from the well-worn path of the science fiction fantasy genre and blazes its own trail through the battlefield of the human soul, where medieval mentality clashes head-on with future technology across what was once Earth's ocean floor. Follow the ragtag group of 'Dregs', led by a scepter-wielding blind sage on a spirited journey to try to find the 'Guardian Knight', and deliver an unborn king to the throne against a powerful and ruthless bishop with the odds stacked heavily in his favor.
