A prince born into violence

Prince Ashoka is considered an outcast for opposing his father Emperor Adil Maurya's brutal destruction of the Mayakari witches.

A witch seeking revenge

Shakti vows retribution for the murder of her aunt and annihilation of her village at the hands of the emperor, even though she is bound by the Mayakari's pacifist code.

A curse that will change the world

In her anger Shakti casts a violent curse, the consequences of which will leave both her and Ashoka grappling for power. Do they take it for themselves and risk becoming what they most hate? Or do they risk losing power completely as the world around them is destroyed?

Drawing on inspiration from the Mauryan Empire of Ancient India, debut author Maithree Wijesekara plunges readers into the first amazing book of the Obsidian Throne trilogy.
