We Shall Be Monsters

Kajal knows she is not a good person. If she were, she wouldnt selfishly be risking her sisters soul in a dangerous bid to bring her back to life. She would let Lasya rest in peace - but Kajal cannot stand the horror of living without her. As Kajal prepares for the resurrection, the worst happens: Her sisters soul warps into a bhuta - a murderous, wraith-like spirit - and Kajal gets sentenced to death for her sisters rampage. There seems little hope of escape until two strangers offer to free her. The catch: She must resurrect the kingdoms fallen crown prince to aid a growing rebellion against a tyrannical usurper. Desperate, Kajal rushes to complete her end of the deal . . . only to discover that the boy shes resurrected, Tav, is not the crown prince. Now Kajal - prickly, proud, admirer of the scientific method - must team up with Tav - stubborn, reticent, and fonder of swords than of books - to find the real crown prince. With only a scalpel and her undead dog, Kutaa, at her side, Kajal must work fast before her mistake is exposed or Lasyas bhuta turns its murderous fury on the person truly responsible for her death: Kajal herself.
