A Lion's Head By D.M. De Alwis
An asura completes his divine mandate only to receive a god-turned-demon’s wrath.
In an immortal realm populated by gods, asura, and humans, Isha, a water buffalo god, and Sinha, a man-lion hybrid, are drawn into a plot to topple a despot. But when the dust of revolution settles, the "hero" and the "monster" are rarely who the legends claim.
