Insert Review Here:
Savage fortress was a page turner from the first page onto the last. Young boy who was half English and half Indian without realizing what has happened became the one to save the world. The book is all about the what and how the boy and his little sister deal with the issues and creatures.
One look at the cover and I was already thinking I wanted to read this book without reading what it was about. Infact, I do not believe I read what the book was about until I was through and ready to write this review.
This book is easily a 5/5 star rating and I want to read more.

Plot Summary:
The gods and monsters of India roar to life in this thrilling fantasy!
After
three weeks of vacation, Ash Mistry is ready to leave the heat and dust
of India behind him. Then he discovers a gleaming gold arrowhead hidden
in the sands---a weapon used to defeat evil King Ravana in legend.
At least, Ash is pretty sure it's only a legend . . .
But
when Lord Alexander Savage comes after Ash, the legends are suddenly
way too real. Savage commands an army of monstrous shapechangers called
rakshasas, who want only to seize the arrowhead and restore Ravana to
power. As they hunt Ash through magnificent fortresses and brutal
deserts, he must learn to work with a powerful rakshasa girl named
Parvati, and find the strength within himself to fight on no matter
what. Because this isn't just a battle to stop the end of the world.
It's a battle to stop the end of reality as we know it.
No pressure.
