Book Description
It all begins on the night Rea turns twelve. After a big fight with her twin brother Rohan on their birthday, Rea's life in the small village of Darjeeling, India, gets turned on its head. It's four in the morning and Rohan is nowhere to be found. It hasn't even been a day and Amma acts like Rohan's gone forever. Her grandmother, too, is behaving strangely. Unwilling to give up on her brother, Rea and her friend Leela meet Mishti Daadi, a wrinkly old fortuneteller whose powers of divination set them off on a thrilling and secret quest. In the shade of night, they portal to an otherworldly realm and travel to Astranthia, a land full of magic and whimsy. There with the help of Xeranther, an Astranthian barrow boy, and Flula, a pari, Rea battles serpent-lilies and blood-sucking banshees, encounters a butterfly-faced woman and blue lizard-men, and learns that Rohan has been captured. Rea also discovers that she is a princess with magic. Only she has no idea how to use it. Struggling with the truth her Amma has kept hidden from her, Rea must solve clues that lead to Rohan, find a way to rescue him, and save Astranthia from a potentially deadly fate. But the clock is ticking. Can she rescue Rohan, save Astranthia, and live to see it all?

Book Description
It is easy to judge a book by its cover, because reading and understanding is more effort than most people in this world are willing to put in. Love, Obsession, Depression, Heartbreak and Self-Reflection; each poem in this book offers insight into the journey of becoming a new, better and different person. The most grueling questions sometimes have the simplest answers. Sometimes, all you can do is wait and see where life leads you- and, after more or less time, the answer may be waiting in front of you.

Book Description
Nuada gave the most important performance of his life, yet the audience barely reacted at all. Nuada continued to strum away on his instruments five strings, feeling their every vibration jolt through his body, the tension and resolution of the notes calming his mind. They were all wrong. The notes he played were all wrong, ever so slightly misplaced within the melody's rhythm, just a touch out of tune, and that's not even considering the clearly wrong notes that he played. The many people of high status in attendance understood this keenly, yet held back their disdain.
