Hello Bhuvan Mahto!
Thanks so much—I’m really happy you enjoyed the book!
I’m drawn to the stories of the defeated because they often show something more real and complicated than the stories of the winners. While researching The Asura’s Curse, I kept coming across these forgotten voices—people who faced loss and struggle. Their stories felt raw and honest, and I wanted to bring that to life in my writing.
For me, focusing on the defeated is about shining a light on those hidden moments of courage and resilience. Those are the stories that stick with me long after I finish a book.
Have you ever been drawn to stories about the underdog or those who get overlooked? I’d love to hear your thoughts—maybe I’ll get some ideas for my next book!
