About this ebook

Cut off from the rest of the world, the island of Kabecka in the Indian Ocean is a haven to a veiled race of enigmatic and barbaric centaurs. Under the temper of an anticipated civil war between its two tribes, Bhama and Dhuni, every inhabitant is vigilant and wary.
A disapproving Bhama is dealing with the impending change in rulership to the widely detested half-breed orphaned sisters, Mahika and Venya, notified to be the future Aahi and Danuwoa of the tribe by their waning king, Mihraan. Amidst the bedlam of their training with the Obaka, the towering formalities of the royal life, piling work at their home foundry, an ambush on Mahika’s engagement ceremony and a human intruder, the loathed sisters realize that they are not the only ones fostering ghastly secrets.
The unforeseen poisoning of the Mataoka tree, whose enchantment protects them against humans, throws the sisters into a spiral of controversy and sabotage, as the duty of recovering the elements of the Svar falls unto them. From the apprehension of fighting the Pernicious Pixies, the trepidation of dealing with the Kabeckan Mers and the unfeasibility of bargaining with the unhinged Sorceress Hyma, while confronting their Irrikums, the centauresses tread a noxious path on a covert expedition to save the homeland founded by their great forefather, Raassa the Ruthless.
From the author of the national bestselling Kalith series comes Centaurs of Kabecka : Mahika, the first book of the two-part Bhama Duology.

Ratings and reviews

Centaurs of Kabecka: Mahika took us to the unexplored world of centaurs. Reading about their way of life was very intriguing. I loved how there were creatures other than centaurs explored and how there were ranks in the society based on the type of creature. That was very new to read. Every location from the Bhiza palace to Quack hill was so beautifully described it felt as if I was there watching the story unfold. The imagination of Khyati knows no bounds. Reading up on so many societal issues covered subtly by the author is commendable. This is a book worthy of your time! Highly recommended.

This book was one that filled me with adrenalin. This author is all about exploring the unknown and after seeing such breathtaking creatures in her other books there's now Centaurs of Kabecka: Mahika! Not one dull moment throughout the journey! I loved the places, the fine description of every creature and as is always the case in her books I found myself right besides the protagonist fighting the evil. She really transports you to the world she creates. Many a times while reading I screamed "what are we gonna do!!" Because I thought I was in the book. I love how attention is paid to every single character. This book is full of suprises, powerful protagonists and even more intimidating villains! From rooting for Mahika, Venya, Manis and Jahyer to being in awe of the ruthless Mers and the Sorceress this book was a roller coaster. Completely unpredictable! Make sure you get your hands on this book asap!
