Book Description

About the Book Born during the churning of the ocean of milk, Menaka is the most beautiful of all the apsaras in heaven, with quick intelligence and innate talent. However, she craves for the one thing she can never have-family.

Elsewhere, after severe austerities, a man, now blessed with the name Vishwamitra, challenges the gods and dares to create another heaven. Fearing his growing powers, Indra, the king of the devas, decides to put a stop to his ambitions by making Menaka seduce him.

What will happen when Menaka and Vishwamitra meet each other? Will Menaka finally find what she really wished for? Or will she again be forced to surrender to her destiny? Find out in this fascinating portrait of one of the most enduring mythological figures.

About the Author Kavita Kané is the best-selling author of Karna's Wife: The Outcast's Queen, Sita's Sister and Menaka's Choice. She started her career as a journalist and is now a full-time novelist. She is a post-graduate in English literature and mass-communications and a self-confessed aficionado of theatre and cinema. Married to a mariner, she is a mother to two daughters and currently lives in Pune with Chic, the friendly Spaniel, and Cotton, the unfriendly cat.

Prologue The frightened deer disappeared into the thick darkness of the woods. King Dushyant gave a small sigh of exasperation as he realised that he would have to get down from the chariot and follow his prey on foot. But the King of Hastinapur was a determined young man; a nimble-footed deer certainly would not be able to defeat him. Tall and imposingly built, he was lithe enough to rush quickly through the thick glades, so as to not lose sight of the frisky deer. He heard, rather than saw, some movement behind a thick, thorny bush a little ahead, and swiftly drew his arrow and shot at the rustling sound. The deer gave a small whimper and crumpled down.
