About the Book

It has been ten years since Ram's return from fallen Lanka. Ayodhya is shining. Ayodhya is prosperous. But darkness lurks at the heart of the victorious regime. A pointed question piques a young journalist's curiosity- What happen to Sita? Where is Ram's absent wife whose abduction triggered the war with Landra? And so begins the journalist's search for the missing queen. Soon her investigation attracts the notice of Ayodhya's all-powerful secret police and its mysterious head, the Washerman. Forced to flee Ayodhya, the journalist makes her way through a war-devastated Lanka in search of answers. In this stylish speculative thriller, Samhita Arni skillfully combines her love for mythology with riveting storytelling. 'Pacy, gritty and very clever.' Samit Basu'A thrilling read.' Askok Banker
