Fate and fortune. Power and passion. What does it take to be the queen of a kingdom when you're only seventeen? Maya is cursed. With a horoscope that promises a marriage of Death and Destruction, she has earned only the scorn and fear of her father's kingdom. Content to follow more scholarly pursuits, her whole world is torn apart when her father, the Raja, arranges a wedding of political convenience to quell outside rebellions. Soon Maya becomes the queen of Akaran and wife of Amar. Neither roles are what she expected: As Akaran's queen, she finds her voice and power. As Amar's wife, she finds something else entirely: Compassion. Protection. Desire. But Akaran has its own secrets -- thousands of locked doors, gardens of glass, and a tree that bears memories instead of fruit. Soon, Maya suspects her life is in danger. Yet who, besides her husband, can she trust? With the fate of the human and Otherworldly realms hanging in the balance, Maya must unravel an ancient mystery that spans reincarnated lives to save those she loves the most. including herself.Aru Shah and the End of Time (www.roshanichokshi.com) and its best-selling successors, Aru Shah and the Song of Death, Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes, Aru Shah and the City of Gold, and Aru Shah and the Nectar of Immortality, were all instant New York Times best-sellers. She's also the author of best-selling YA novels like The Star-Touched Queen and The Golden Wolves. She majored in fairy tales in college and once had a pet luck dragon that looked strangely like a Great Pyrenees dog. Roshani's all-consuming enthusiasm for Sailor Moon, as well as the stories her grandmother told her, inspired the Pandava quintet. She says y'all because she lives in the south, but she doesn't have a Southern accent. @roshani_chokshi is her Twitter handle.
