For listeners of Neil Gaiman, Margaret Atwood, China Miéville, and David Mitchell comes a eye-catching debut novel with a storyteller of willing information and captivating thoughts. On a cool night in Kolkata, India, beneath a complete moon, as the whirling rhythms of going musicians fill the night, college teacher Alok encounters a secret stranger with a bizarre confession and a fantastic report. Tantalized by the man's unfinished tale, Alok will do anything to hear its completion. So Alok agrees, at the stranger's behest, to transcribe a collection of battered notebooks, weathered parchments, and once-living skins. From these documents spills the chronicle of your race of individuals at once more than human being yet kin to beasts, ruled by intuition and desires blood deep and age ranges old. The tale features a rough wanderer in 17th-century Mughal, India, who confirms himself irrevocably attracted to a defiant female - and destined to be torn asunder by two clashing worlds. With every passing chapter of beauty and brutality, Alok's fascination with the stranger grows and evolves into something darker plus more urgent. Moving dreamlike between present and previous with intoxicating dialect, visceral action, engaging people, and stark emotion, The Devourers offers a tuning in experience quite unlike any other novel.
