Demon Rising
Erik Eleodum is known as Wolf's Bane, Troll Hammer, and Dragon Slayer. Now, he must become a Demon Killer. As Yebritoch, the Lord of Chaos, regains a foothold in the world and threatens to break free of his prison in the Abyss, Erik must stop him before he destroys the world and tries to rebuild it. Through his alliance with the Lord of the East, the demon Yebritoch has found a pathway from the Abyss back to the world. If they can free the greatest of Yebritoch's Chaos Beasts, his transformation will be complete and there will be no stopping him from raining chaos upon everything. As this ancient evil devises a plan to destroy and rebuild the world, Erik has developed new allies as well as reunited with old allies and journeys into uncharted lands to find the last missing piece of the Dragon Scroll - the Dragon Crown - and a weapon that will help stop both Yebritoch and the Lord of the East. But his confidence is shaken and he questions whether or not he can actually stop the Lord of Chaos. Will Erik have the strength and heart to make the sacrifices needed to stop the Demon of Chaos, or will the world as he knows it end?
The Clay Toy-Cart
A gripping satire of romance, betrayal and intrigue set in ancient India The Clay Toy-cart remains one of the foundational works of Sanskrit drama, having been performed numerous times around the world and even serving as the inspiration for Girish Karnad's highly acclaimed film Utsav. The story follows the fortunes of a rich and beautiful courtesan, Vasantasena, who falls in love with the handsome Charudatta, a former merchant who is now penniless. Although Charudatta is happily married, he is deeply drawn to Vasantasena. The two embark on a love affair that leads to some terrible complications and shocking reversals of fortune-involving violent crime as well as political rebellion-before matters are ingeniously resolved. Padmini Rajappa's lucid translation revitalizes this iconic play for contemporary readers while also shedding light on its unique place in the Sanskrit canon as well as the mystery shrouding the identity of its author.
The Mrichchhakatika of Sudraka
Among the known dramatic composition of ancient India, the Mrichchhakatika occupies a very high and distinguished position. It is a creation of outstanding brilliance.

Tales from the Kathasaritsagara
The Kathasaritsagara is a combination of simultaneously innocent and sophisticated folk stories bringing forth both common sense and highly sophisticated Sanskrit writing. It paints a vivid picture of a most particular part of India at one moment in history, and yet it tells stories that are the Indian variants – often the Indian sources – of stories told around the world. Arisha Sattar’s translations bring these stories to life in a modern way, while retaining their ancient meanings.
