I would let you vanquish me, if that is what you wanted, Meneka. If you asked.” Bestselling author Kritika H. Rao’s first book in the Divine Dancers duology weaves an empowering and romantic tale of identity, rebellion, and cosmic power inspired by H indu mythology Seduction is her weapon. Across the mortal and immortal realms, apsaras—celestial dancers who serve the gods—are revered for their beauty, allure, and spellbinding magic. But Meneka knows that is not all they are. Trained as a weapon—a warrior—she wields illusions that ensnare mortals and advance her lord Indra’s political ambitions. She has played her part well, but the yearning for freedom is growing harder to ignore. Love is her destiny. When a mortal sage named Kaushika rises in power and threatens Indra’s rule, Meneka seizes her chance. In exchange for one final mission, Indra promises to set her free. But Kaushika is no ordinary mortal. Fierce, passionate, and wise, he begins to unravel everything Meneka believes. Can she overthrow the man who is, little by little, stealing her heart? As war looms, Meneka must choose: remain loyal to the realm that forged her, or surrender to the desires awakening inside her. In this lush, lyrical fusion of romantic fantasy and Hindu mythology, you’ll discover: Gods, magic, and different realms A fierce heroine determined to claim her own destiny A male love interest who worships her "I came to destroy you, but I fell for you instead."
