***New Edition with Epilogue and Fantasy Art***
Mermaids, Demons, Gods... It is 8000 years B.C. Sita Devi, the wife of Lord Rama, the Prince of Ayodhya, has been abducted by the Demon King Raavana. Hanuman, the Ape hero, is tasked with building a bridge to facilitate the invasion of Lanka. The Ape army gathers on the Southern coast of India. The expedition is however brought to a halt by the workings of the Mer-People who inhabit the Indian Ocean.
Follow Hanuman as he struggles to overcome their enchantments and complete his task. However, who is the mysterious Mer-Queen who lures him into her undersea lair? What part has she to play in this epic war? Is all fair in love and war?
The Ramayana is a Hindu Epic as old and as famous as Homer's Odyssey. However, it is not as well retold in Western Literature. This is a retelling of the Ramakien (the Thai version of the Hindu tale). If you are a lover of Mythology, Historical Fiction, World Religions or Fantasy - then this is for YOU!
***Includes Places to Visit in Sri Lanka, linked to the Myth***
GOODREADS REVIEW (James Maxstadt - Author)"Raavana's Daughter is, according to the author, inspired by the Ramakien, the Thai version of the Ramayana. It's an ancient story that I have only a passing familiarity with, if that. This short book makes me want to know more about it.The story is very well written, and reads like a myth, but with modern, updated language. It is very, very well done. Although short, it is more than worth your time to pick it up and give it a read. Even though it's for a YA audience, I can't imagine anyone who enjoys fantasy or mythology not liking it."
GOODREADS REVIEW (R. V.) "This is an interesting addition to the traditional tale. I have been a teacher of world religions for over twenty years and never before run into the link between the Ramayana and Mer-peoples. I found Aloysius' storytelling enjoyable, and the poetic chapter endings nice enhancements...All in all it was a "Good Read" and a nice addition to the Mer-fantasy and Mythology genres."
