THE INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

"I would let you teach me, rule me, ruin me. I would let you vanquish me, if that is what you wanted, Meneka. If you asked."

I was trained to seduce.

They call us apsaras—celestial dancers, conjurers of beauty and illusion. But I know the truth: we are weapons, wielded by gods. Every time I enchant a mortal, every time I leave them aching and bewitched, it's not for love. It's for power. For my lord Indra, king of the heavens.

And I have played my part well.

When a mortal sage named Kaushika rises in power, threatening Indra's throne, I am sent to stop him the only way I know how. One final mission, Indra promises, and I will be free. But Kaushika is not what I expected. Fierce. Compassionate. Unshakably human. And suddenly, I'm not sure who is luring whom.

Until I meet my match.

The more I learn about his world, the more I begin to question my own. As war brews between gods and mortals, I must choose—stay loyal to the realm that made me, or risk everything for the chance to shape my own destiny.

And I'm the one who begins to fall.

I was designed to charm rulers and distract sages. But I won't be a pawn in their games any longer. I will rewrite the rules.

Bestselling author Kritika H. Rao weaves an empowering tale of identity, rebellion, and cosmic power inspired by Hindu mythology, perfect for lovers of romantic fantasy and mythic retellings. Order the exclusive hardcover edition now featuring beautiful endpaper art!
