Review: Sons of Darkness (The Raag of Rta, #1) by Gourav Mohanty

June 26, 2022 by Dan Smith 1 Comment

Sons of darkness smashes open the fountain of originality, spilling insidious plot, incredible characters, and grim violence. I loved this book. Described as the Indian ASoIaF, it has feuding families, politics, war, and deceit in equal measures, but tops this with inspired world-building and a plot that starts as embers and ends as a blazing inferno.
