The king of demons, Drumila, wants one thing more than any other: to kill the Creator who slaughtered his mother in cold blood. But the Creator lives in the heavens far above, protected by a mystic wall that can be pierced only by the highest of gods. In his search for one, Drumila comes across a girl who has a delicate waist and eyes extending almost up to her ears. But she maintains she is a mere human—not some goddess.

To add to his woes, an army of giant serpents is on its way to attack the demon-capital. Drumila must do everything in his power to keep his subjects safe, but his strength and powers are diminishing ever since he has started cohabiting with the girl.

Arundhati has been put to a mission by the gods: to weaken the demon-king through excessive lovemaking, and bring about his demise. She gets to work but discovers new facets to his personality. Together, they must thwart the serpent-attack or die at each other’s hands.

The Red Fiend is a tale of two star-crossed lovers, who must come to terms with each other's reality.

Praise for The Red Fiend:

"Over the course of this mythological epic, More effectively immerses readers into the intense and offbeat world that he's created... the story, meanwhile, is packed with the kind of colorful action that one expects of good epic fantasy... intriguing worldbuilding that draws on elements that, for many Western readers, will be refreshingly unfamiliar. A vivid and complex, if sometimes overly dense, epic of a heroic warrior-demon." -- Kirkus Reviews
