"Do we mean anything?" Tara asked hopelessly. "Are our desires, our dreams, relevant to the course of destiny at all?" Tara--Vali's wife, Sugriv's queen, and the woman behind Rama's curse -- was a figure of extraordinary intellect, foresight, and determination. A master stateswoman both before and after her marriage to Vali, she rose to become the revered queen of Kishkindha. Yet even her wisdom and stature could not shield her from the power of destiny. Caught in a fierce battle of egos between two brothers, Tara is reduced to the victor's trophy. And yet, in the midst of conflict and loss, she resourcefully restores peace and prosperity to the kingdom she helped build, even when it demands the ultimate sacrifice. In this compelling retelling of the Ramayana, bestselling author Kavita Kan brings Tara's untold story to life--a tale of power, compromise, and a woman's divinely ordained purpose, including her fateful decision to marry her husband's killer.
