Part one of the Indian tale of Rama told in an epic fantasy style.

An aging king, his kingdom never conquered, is under threat from devils and demons who want to make an example of it. His son Rama is tasked with taking the first part of the battle to them under the guidance of a guru.

In places it seems a bit like the Monkey series on TV from years ago but in a different setting, in others there is lots of intrigue within the court, action and danger making it similar to Game of Thrones.

Very good book, has a glossary at the back for some of the Indian words used, although they tend to be explained after first use and then become familiar in context.
