Disciple of The Devas by Shalendra Roy | Book Review
"Disciple of the Devas" is an engaging fantasy centred around the age-old conflict between good and evil. The book weaves an incredible tale of magic and adventure set in the various realms of humans, demons, and God.
It follows the journey of Priya Star, a devout disciple of the deity Arup, who is chosen to confront a rising threat when the malevolent Lord Setana escapes his exile from Naraka (the underworld) and seeks a powerful gemstone. Determined to prevent him from collapsing the boundaries between the realms of gods (Rupa), demons (Naraka), and humans (Earth), Priya is tasked with retrieving the legendary Peeraboo of Destiny, a divine staff central to cosmic balance.
Accompanied by a trio of magical animal allies—Handsome the zebra, Papa the wolf, and Guru Gildron the wise shaman owl—she embarks on a perilous odyssey across enchanted landscapes. Along the way, Priya is tested physically, spiritually, and morally as she confronts dark forces, navigates divine politics, and grows into her role as a protector of the cosmos.
The book’s fast-moving plot and vivid scenes make it an engaging read. The characters feel real, even in a world full of magic and gods, and the bond between Priya and her companions adds warmth to the intense storyline. Roy’s storytelling flows smoothly, blending action and emotion in a way that makes the reader feel part of the adventure.
What stands out most is the world-building. The realms are described in such detail that you can easily picture them—whether it’s the harshness of the underworld or the mystical beauty of the divine lands. The concept of these three realms coexisting, and the threat of one disrupting the others, adds depth and urgency to the story.
In the end, Disciple of the Devas is not just about defeating evil—it’s about the power of belief, friendship, and rising up even when the odds are against you. A must-read for fans of heartfelt and meaningful fantasy.
