Rick Riordan did it for Greece. Now Sarwat Chadda does it for India Book three in the incredible action-adventure trilogy about Ash Mistry, reluctant hero and living weapon of the death goddess Kali.
Ash Mistry is in a world of pain. A parallel world in fact, where another version of him seems to be living his life, and the evil Lord Savage now all-powerful and adored by the nation is about to carry out a terrible plan.
Worse still, Ashs superpowers, invested in him by the Death Goddess Kali, seem no longer to be working.
Without Kali, can Ash defeat Savage and save the world

Sarwat Chadda has lived and travelled throughout the world, from China to Guatemala. Hes been lost in Mongolia, abandoned at a volcano in Nicaragua and hidden up a tree from a rhino in Nepal. Not to mention being detained by Homeland Security in the US and chased around Tibet by the Chinese. Maybe he just has that sort of face. Anyway, now hes trying to settle in one place and avoid trouble. Hence his new career as a writer. Its safe, indoors and avoids any form of physical danger. Throughout his travels, Sarwat has soaked up the myths, legends and cultures of faraway places. Now, with the Ash Mistry series, he aims to bring these unfamiliar tales of eastern demons, of blue-skinned heroes and of black-skinned goddesses back home and put them beside the exploits of Achilles and Thor. His heroes are Prince Rama and the demon-slaying Kali. Isnt it about time you met them too
