'What a story! I think a lot of epic fantasy fans … will really enjoy this one' Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters

How far would you go to find home?

Relics of a mysterious god, the Spice Gates connect the eight far-flung kingdoms, each separated by a distinct spice and only accessible by those born with a special mark. This is not a mark of distinction, but one of subjugation: Spice Carriers suffer the lashes of their rich masters and the jolting pain of the Gates themselves.

Amir is a Spice Carrier dreaming of escape. But something is stirring in the inhospitable spaces between the kingdoms. As Amir makes his plan for freedom, he’s drawn into a plot that threatens to unravel the power keeping the gates in balance.

Gods, assassins and thronekeepers all have a vested interest in the spice trade, and Amir will have to decide what kind of world he wants to live in … if the world survives at all.

'The Spice Gate invites readers on a spellbinding journey. Srivatsa's storytelling prowess shines … a must-read for fantasy aficionados' Taran Matharu, New York Times bestselling author of Dragon Rider

‘Rich, complex worldbuilding, ambitious scale and characters you’ll cherish. A bold, original step forward for South Asia-inspired epic fantasy. I loved The Spice Gate!’ Samit Basu, author of The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport

‘A grand epic fantasy with a fiery core of rage against injustice. This is a book you can taste, where flavour itself is a kind of magic’ Vajra Chandrasekera, author of The Saint of Bright Doors
