Description

What if the darkest curse was your greatest power

Born during the blood moon and cursed with the dangerous ability to manipulate other people's souls, Priya has to hide her power or face death.

When Priya wins a place to attend the country's elite school in Kuwatta, her curse is revealed to be a gift and everything changes. With a centuries old guerilla war still raging in Awaran and a strange danger lurking in the heart of the Kuwatta fortress, Priya must choose between her country and her heart.

A fast-paced and dynamic story of belonging and survival.

"But Awaran was all she knew. The only land whose earth she had trodden, whose air she had breathed and whose water she had tasted. Awaran was the land that had given her life, the land she fought for. She knew nothing else. Why, then, did she still feel like a traveller without a destination"
