A Warrior's Path: An Anchored Worlds Novel (The Castes and the OutCastes Book 1)
"The characters, dialogue and action are mature enough to satisfy readers at the older end of the YA range, and the author weaves them all into an attention-sustaining tale...the milieu is markedly original...first rate world-building."
Kirkus Reviews.
Two thousand years ago, a demon thundered into the skies of Arisa and cast down the First World. She is Suwraith, the Sorrow Bringer. For millennia, She has labored to fulfill Her only vow: Humanity’s extinction.
Into this world of city-states – where a person’s Caste determines his Talents and his future – is born Rukh Shektan, a peerless young warrior who has trained since birth in the way of the sword. He becomes lost in the Wildness, the large swaths of land under the Sorrow Bringer’s sway.
There, he unwittingly comes to possess Talents not of his Caste. It is a terrible misfortune. According to dogma, these individuals are Tainted – cursed abominations who should be executed without mercy. Such should be Rukh’s fate, but life is never so simple.
The Sorrow Bringer has turned Her dread gaze to his home, the radiant Oasis city of Ashoka. And only Rukh can save it.
