And our Lord praised the evil steward, because he acted wisely, for “The children of this world in this their generation are wiser than the children of light.” Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness The War of the Sons of Light Against the Sons of Darkness

Women are cursed to suffer, thought Draupadi. None can change that… not with complaints, or prayers, or revolution. But one can spit at life and dare it to hurt you more. Draupadi pondered over the likes of Satyabhama, Storm and the other Silver Wolves. Women who had taken charge of their destinies, women fighting their fate. A losing battle perhaps, but a fight nonetheless.’ Sons of Darkness is a 'reimagining' of the Mahabharata. Why did you decide to base your debut on this epic? And how did you find the experience of basing your novel on something that already exists? He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.Sons of Darkness takes the wonderful cast of the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata and tosses them in a nihilistic world to usher in India’s first epic-fantasy series with grimdark tones.

The novel is certainly not for the faint of heart. The characters are morally grey.

Although never endlessly bleak and depressing, brutal and violent scenes are evident in the text; pretty much all the harrowing actions you can expect in wars.

Strong's 5207: A son, descendent. Apparently a primary word; a 'son', used very widely of immediate, remote or figuratively, kinship. After that bipolar invitation, if you are still prepared to dive head-first into a chasm of chivalry and cynicism, then all I ask you to do is- leave your helms behind.
