Dev/Asur 1 - Dev/Asur: War in Heaven

Frank Miller's 300 meets George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones meets Indian Mythology. The gods have abandoned the universe.

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. Dev/Asur — War of the Heavens is an epic military fantasy rooted in the mythology of ancient India — a world of divine weapons, celestial politics, demonic armies, and soldiers who are heartbreakingly, defiantly human. 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. This is Indian mythology reimagined as military epic. Gods who fail their people. Empires built on the bodies of the loyal. A conspiracy…
