From the New York Times bestselling author of Kaikeyi, a contemporary fantasy following a burnt-out reproductive
health care worker struggling to command her newly acquired abilities as dangerous forces gather to stop her before
she becomes too powerful.
She escapes to the Indian art exhibit at her favorite museum for a brief respite, only to suddenly find herself bleeding, disoriented, and collapsed on the ground. The last thing she remembers is the statue that beckoned her to touch it. In the days that follow, Nisha feels a strange power coursing within her, one that attracts a host of dangerous and enigmatic characters who covet it for themselves.
Facing threats both otherworldly and distinctly human, Nisha must navigate uncertain alliances to piece together the centuries-old mystery of her odd and terrifying abilities. And as danger closes in on her loved ones, community, and the clinic she's determined to protect, Nisha must make a choice about the life she wants-- and fight all the demons standing in her way to get it.
