Interestingly enough, it was originally from a dream I had, where I saw this massive map of a world where the northern hemisphere consisted of fertile valleys surrounded by impassible mountains, watered by the melting snow from the polar ice caps, and the remainder of the world being endless desert. After a while, I came up with characters inhabiting this world, developing the Desert Tribes from my love of Frank Herbert's Dune series, and the Naga race from my love of "monster girl" anime. But for this, I toned down the sexual overtones found in the anime 3. What is the book all about?

 About Book:  For the desert tribes, the only abundant source of water aside from the holdings of their mortal enemies in the north, is the subterranean Gray Lands, inhabited by the half-serpent Naga, to whom the tribes pay annual tribute for use of the precious resource. But every two centuries, the Right of Flesh is invoked: the provision of human mates for the Naga. The Law of Tribute is sacrosanct, and those who make the trip to the Gray Lands are never seen again. Special exception has been made for the spoiled Prince Voran of Fire Mountain. Prone to boorish recklessness and arrogance, a singular farce too far runs him afoul of his father, who exiles the foolish Prince from his opulent desert Citadel to the water-rich Gray Lands as part of the Flesh Tribute. Rather than a life sentence, his father brokers a deal with the Naga High King to a tenure of three years in that sunless kingdom as the husband of Salgani, the blind Naga High Princess. Trapped in a detestable situation, Vora

About Book: As you flow out of your sleeping slumber, reacting to the alarm, mother’s call or admonition or the internal clock asserting the need to wake up, unrelated to the ‘time of the day’ you tend to clutch onto your pillow and wander to lands or occasions, as to where you would ideally wish to be! That very moment with odour hanging in the air, of the place, the person, the time of the day or the season! A wishful longing, you dig into your cushion of comfort, fleetingly travelling to your loved memory or imagination for the evanescent moment! Every ‘time of the day’ has a memory, sometimes wistful. May take : Time of the day is the new book that I have recently read and nothing is better than enjoying the book written by author Sumanth Barooah who is well known for his detailed writing and vivid imagination. The book is a short read and has a collection of short stories that are based on different beautiful locations and different times of the day. I really liked the places the
