*"Chokshi seamlessly weaves Indian cosmology and pop culture into a refreshingly feminist plot laced with witty dialogue."- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Endorsed by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, soon to be a series on Disney+.Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents the third book in the New York Times best-selling Pandava series by Roshani Chokshi. Will she come to peace with what they've done before she has to wage the battle of her life? Filled with wondrous magic, unforgettable creatures, manipulative gods, and laugh-out-loud dialogue, this fourth book in the Pandava series, a fantasy adventure loosely based on Hindu stories, will leave readers wishing they could read the finale right now. Aru's biggest question, though, is why every adult she has loved and trusted so far has failed her. If they lose, they won't stand a chance against the Sleeper's troops, which will soon march on Lanka to take over the Otherworld. Case in point: Kubera, ruler of the city of gold, promises to give the Pandavas two powerful weapons, but only if they win his trials. The gods have been too devious up to now. Aru also isn't sure she still wants to fight on behalf of the devas in the war against the Sleeper and his demon army.
She's pretty sure she didn't wish for a new sister, one who looks strangely familiar and claims to be the Sleeper's daughter, like her.
Aru has just made a wish on the tree of wishes, but she can't remember what it was.
