Of Light and Shadow: A Fantasy Romance Novel Inspired by Indian Mythology

By Tanaz Bhathena

Book Overview

Eighteen-year-old Roshan is out for justice. Abandoned by her parents at birth and taken in by Jwala's most notorious bandit, she is now leader of the Shadow Clan, a gang impoverished by the Jwalian government's atrocities. Her goal: expose the government's corruption to Queen Bhairavi of Jwala, and earn back rights for her people. Second in line for the throne, Prince Navin has always felt like an outcast. When a night out drinking with friends leads to his capture by the Shadow Clan, Navin plots to befriend Roshan and use her to buy back his freedom--and he has no intention of sympathizing with her cause. The closer Navin and Roshan get, the harder it becomes to fight against their growing attraction. But can love be enough to overpower injustice, deceit, and even death?
