Coles Prince of Lavo: A Southeast Asian Epic Fantasy at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
In a world where Hindu deities clash with colonial airship armadas, two brothers stand on opposite sides of a war that could end civilizations.
Prince Arun, avatar of the supreme god Vishnu, has a divine mandate to wipe out Western civilization from the Earth. His brother, Manu, a disgraced monk fleeing gambling debts and a murder accusation, must rise to challenge him. From the port slums of Lavo-Ayodhya to the peaks of the Himalayas and the depths of hell, Manu's journey leads to a showdown with the fate of Western enlightenment hanging in the balance.
Set in the Southeast Asian Kingdom of Lavo-Ayodhya — inspired by Siam, modern-day Thailand — Prince of Lavo weaves Hindu and Buddhist mythology into the geopolitics of the 19th-century world, exploring the colonial contradiction between Western imperialism and enlightenment.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Pongsatorn Greigarn does an amazing job in writing this book, it had that historical fantasy novel that I was wanting. I thought the brother dynamic worked in this type of book and enjoyed how it uses the mythology element. I was engaged from start to finish and enjoyed getting into this world. Pongsatorn Greigarn was able to weave a strong storyline and thought was so well written and had characters that I was looking for. I enjoyed the Thai-history and enjoyed the overall feel of this."-Kat, BookSirens
