About the Book

It is often said that the better nature of a man can be best judged by how he treats his inferiors. The Hermit's Curse puts this to the test from the get-go; how would a proud king treat a humble hermit in a chance meeting? And what consequences do his actions have? This is a story of ripple-effects; whether one girl's devotion and desperate hope can put a stop to a string of misfortunes, then, remains to be seen. On the other hand, the Last King of Vanni tells a much less personal story. Instead, like an epic of old, it chronicles a heroic king's struggle to keep his land safe as it is threatened by foes from abroad and home alike. Yet, one cannot help but be drawn by the complex and intense emotions of the princess, the court poet, the various villains, and of course, the king himself. In such tumultuous times, who will find their happiness, and at what cost? Lastly, King Sangili of Jaffna is an exploration of a young man struggling to reconcile his private quest for love and justice with the duties of the throne that have been thrust upon him. Unlike the typically confident ruler of lore, he is troubled by his inexperience and the difficulty of making wise choices. And with conspiracy afoot at each turn, the eponymous character has no time to lose in figuring out for himself what it truly takes to be king.
About the Author: To recreate the historical backdrop these plays have been set to, the author makes clever use of archetypical settings with strong connotations. Ancient temples, grand old palaces, colonial forts; even the modern reader could easily envision each of the scenes playing out in their mind's eye. Moreover, the deliberate use of vernacular brings the characters to life, helping them transcend time and space to feel closer to us.
