THE GIRL WHO DIDN’T DIE

Born a princess. Raised a prince. Reborn a warrior.

Making a pact with the God of Destruction is always going to have consequences. But in a world of cosmic matchmakers, divine curses and secrets set to explode, every arrow must eventually reach its target.

One of the most radical figures of the Indian epic, the Mahabharata, Shikandi’s boundary-shattering story follows the journey of a soul who battled across lifetimes to settle old scores, dancing the karmic tightrope while playing with fire.

With music by maverick sitar player, Sheema Mukherjee, this is a pulse-pounding, hair-raising, heart-lifting mythological rollercoaster, soaring between the worlds of gods and mortals to break the rules and defy destiny.
