The Soothsayer's Boon

The island of Paulomi is about to turn into a land of no magic. This is a momentous occasion for a kingdom enslaved by illusionists in the not so distant past. Meanwhile, Urmila, the wife of the crown prince, accepts a forbidden child-giving potion in an act of desperation. She even agrees to the condition that she must return one of the two sons born to her when he turns five. When the time comes to fulfill her promise, however, she discovers that worse things await the three of them. At a time when the kingdom is still defending its freedom from its defeated but still determined enemy, death surely stalks her sons on all sides. But she will not let them pay the price for her mistake. As she sets out to undo her wrong, she crosses paths with Sitara, who has long feared and concealed her powers, and Trishula, another royal desperate to right his mistake. Clashing with shapeshifting nagas, mischievous pretas, and enemies old and new, she discovers that it is not just the lives of her sons at stake but the future of her entire kingdom.
