Overview

Ashes of the BrahmaputraBy Ayan Kumar Nath A boy's village burns. A killer is born. But in a land torn by empires and riots, can even a ghost find redemption? On the mist-covered border between Assam and East Bengal, a boy grows up chasing kites and swimming in the Brahmaputra-until the British come with rifles, famine, and fire. His village is wiped off the map. His childhood, stolen. Taken in by a band of outlaws, he's trained to kill. Over the years, he becomes a ghost on the battlefield-an assassin with no flag, no politics, no soul. He takes contracts from both colonizers and revolutionaries, leaving only bodies behind. But after a betrayal leaves him bleeding in the sand, he's found by a nomadic caravan-and something stirs. When riots erupt and Partition redraws the land in blood, he must choose between vanishing forever... or protecting the only people who didn't fear him. Gritty, haunting, and brutally human, Ashes of the Brahmaputra is a historical fiction novel set against colonial brutality, the Partition of India, and the rise of Bangladesh. Perfect for fans of Train to Pakistan, The Shadow Lines, and The Kite Runner.
