Best-selling author Rick Riordan Presents the penultimate book in the Pandava series by New
York Times best-selling author Roshani Chokshi now in paperback.*Chokshi spins a fantastical
narrative that seamlessly intertwines Hindu cosmology and folklore feminism and witty
dialogue for an uproarious novel for young readers.--Kirkus (starred review of Aru Shah and the
End of Time)Aru Shah and her sisters--including one who also claims to be the Sleeper's
daughter--must find their mentors Hanuman and Urvashi in Lanka the city of gold before war
breaks out between the devas and asuras.Aru has just made a wish on the tree of wishes but she
can't remember what it was. She's pretty sure she didn't wish for a new sister one who looks
strangely familiar and claims to be the Sleeper's daughter like her. Aru also isn't sure she
still wants to fight on behalf of the devas in the war against the Sleeper and his demon army.
The gods have been too devious up to now. Case in point: Kubera ruler of the city of gold
promises to give the Pandavas two powerful weapons but only if they win his trials. If they
lose they won't stand a chance against the Sleeper's troops which will soon march on Lanka to
take over the Otherworld.Aru's biggest question though is why every adult she has loved and
