But how can they trust each other when the world as they know it starts to fall apart? To further complicate things, the closer Roshan and Navin get, the harder it becomes to fight their growing attraction. His ploy, however, brings Navin closer to the corruption and poverty at the heart of Roshan’s province, raising questions about its governor and Navin’s own family. When a night out drinking with friends leads to his capture by the infamous Shadow Clan, Navin schemes to befriend Roshan and use her as a means to escape. Second in line for the throne, he has never been close to his grandmother, Queen Bhairavi of Jwala. Prince Navin has always felt like an outcast. Roshan’s goal: to avenge her adoptive father and earn back rights and dignity for her people. Abandoned by her parents at birth and adopted by the kingdom of Jwala’s most notorious bandit before his brutal murder, she is now leader of the Shadow Clan, a gang of farmers-turned-bandits impoverished by the provincial governor’s atrocities and corruption. Drawing inspiration from Indian mythology, Bhathena’s latest novel is a standalone fantasy about a bandit leader and a prince who become caught up in schemes to reorient the political landscape of their country.
