Sinha’s Chronicles
Writing the premise
SINHA’S ORIGINS (Working Title, YA Fantasy)
Status–Looking for representation.
Nubie Asura Sinha is released into the human realm. He discovers his actions–under the order of the gods–have led to dire consequences. Unable to exact revenge on Sinha, his mortal enemy, the Water Buffalo demon, targets Sinha’s loved ones by corrupting their Samsaric journeys.
Sinha is the only one who can stop him.
Character
Sinha, the nubie Asura, just wants to be a cat. Instead, he’s a man-lion who has inherited the boon of the demon he was tasked to defeat–invincibility.
Plot
Sinha is the only one who can stop the demon, as he knows who will be targeted. The demon whose ambition is uprooted is playing the long game to get revenge.
Setting
The human realm—generic, no? We’re talking specifically about the time before the Harappan empire when gods existed amongst men. Think Xena, the warrior princess of the 90s, except we’re on the Indian subcontinent.
Stakes
Sinha’s karmic balance is as much at stake as his human friends.
The book explores rebirth and how actions/intentions drive the karmic repercussions as a person journeys through samsara. What happens if you’ve got some evil force whispering in your ear? Sinha can’t save everyone. Human lives are short. People are reborn sporadically over great distances and spans of time.
If you would be interested in reading this book, please leave me a comment and let me know why. I’m in the early days on the hunt for a literary agent to represent my first book. Confirming I have an audience will do wonders for my ego. :)
