'An extraordinary debut ... River of Ink is what historical fiction
should be: immersive, illuminating and captivating' The Times
'Vivid and compelling' Mail on Sunday 'A powerful and timely fable
about freedom, resistance and the secret might of the weak'
Financial Times _____________ From his humble village beginnings,
Asanka has risen to the prestigious position of court poet in the
great island kingdom of Lanka, delighting in a life of ease. But
when the ruthless Kalinga Magha violently usurps the throne,
Asanka's world is changed beyond imagination. To his horror, the
king tasks him with the translation of an epic poem designed to
civilise his subjects and snuff out the fires of rebellion...
Asanka has always believed that poetry makes nothing happen, but as
lines on the page become cries in the street he learns that true
power lies not at the point of a sword, but in the tip of a pen.
