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 also isn't sure she still wants to fight on behalf of the devas in the war against the Sleeper and his demon army. The gods have been too devious up to now. 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. 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.Aru's biggest question, though, is why every adult she has loved and trusted so far has failed her. 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.Endorsed by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, soon to be a series on Disney+.Don't miss the other Pandava adventures:Rick Riordan Presents: Aru Shah and the End of Time Book 1Rick Riordan Presents: Aru Shah and the Song of Death Book 2Rick Riordan Presents: Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes Book 3Rick Riordan Presents: Aru Shah and the Nectar of Immortality Book 5
