Meet Ravan, the teenage crown prince of Asurapura on the continent of Naraka, moments before he must face the dangers of the Aranya jungle as part of the Trial of Seven Days.
Almost two weeks later, he emerges from the Aranya and returns to his palace in the city Lanka, triumphant but emotionally drained. His completion of the Trial, however, brings about more complications than he could have imagined. Unlikely alliances with half-snake, half-human Nagas and ten-foot Rakshasas, and shocking discoveries about his own family push Ravan to his limit...

“With ‘Ravan’s Trial’, Sundar Nathan has written an epic fantasy story with memorable characters from the great Indian epic, the Ramayana. The story is gripping, familiar characters in new roles with new destinies. Sundar has also done extensive research on the setting for his story. I enjoyed it a lot.”

“Nathan pieces together an incredibly deep and thoroughly developed realm and breathes life into his main character Ravan, beginning the book with a restrained unpeeling of family plot drivers through the individual days of Ravan’s Trial of Seven Days and a devastating setback. Shifting points of view provide first-hand rich visuals through the eyes of shapeshifters, battle-hardened warriors, lovers, loyalists, enemies, and family as Nathan weaves together an adventure, coming-of-age saga with intricacy to rival “the threads of Harsha’s Song.”
