After the grand success of the first two books of The Kalki Trilogy, Kevin Missal is set to burn the stage with his new series, The Narasimha Trilogy!
It is said to be his best work yet and we can’t wait to read what he has in store for the mythological character, Narasimha (a man with a lion’s head).
About the Author:
Kevin Missal is a 21-year-old graduate from St. Stephen’s College, who has written four novels till now ranging from crime to mythology to horror. He had written his first book at the age of 14, which was released by the Chief Minister of Delhi. His second book was written at the age of 16 and was published by a British indie-press.
He is a pioneer in writing the World’s First InstaRead and is a bestseller on Amazon under horror category. He is also the co-owner and co-founder of Kalamos Literary Services, which publishes and promotes fledgling writers to make a mark in the literary industry. He currently lives in Delhi.
The blurb of Narasimha: The Mahaavtar Trilogy Book 1, releasing on 10th June:
Narasimha, once a brave soldier, has left the war and hides in a village, working as a physician. But soon, a familiar face from his past finds him, seeking his help to stop the tyranny of the blind usurper — Andhaka.
If Narasimha refuses, the world might just end.
Prahlad, the interim king of Kashyapuri, is conflicted between the ideals of his unrighteous father and his love for Lord Vishnu. Whom will he choose?
Hiranyakashyap, the ruler of the Asura Empire, seeks to avenge his wife. But to do that, he must get the ultimate weapon—the Brahmshastra. For that, he has to go through the Trials that has sent so many others to their death. Can he win?
Sounds quite rad! Can’t wait for it to release 😀
Plus, I got the pleasure of asking a few questions from Kevin regarding his new book. Sharing them below:
A: What made you write that first book? Was it a spontaneous idea or a well-planned one?
K: Well planned!
A: Why mythological fiction? What interests you the most about this genre?
K: That it’s interpretative!
A: Has the tremendous success of Kalki changed something in your life in general and as a writer?
K: I have become more focused in life.
A: What made you choose Narasimha after Kalki as the main character? Was there anything in specific about Narasimha that attracted you?
K: You’ll know why if you read the book.
A: Kalki was a good mix of action, romance & drama. What all can we expect from Narasimha?
K: Same. But with little more maturity.
A: There isn’t much written text available on Narasimha. How difficult was it to weave this story around him?
K: There were analysis and I went with that.
A: Any writers you look up to for inspiration?
K: Brandon Sanderson!
A: Will we see you exploring other genres? (We hope, Yes :D)
K: I plan to write YA and thrillers.
A: Which ones are you excited to hop onto next?
K: YA!
One thing is sure, we’ll HAVE to read Narasimha this summer to know all the mystery around it. And, I’m definitely looking forward to those Thrillers from him 😀
