About the Book: Yakshini
Halfway to the heavens, in a realm hidden by clouds, a divine beauty—a
Yakshini—is facing a sentence for her folly. Down on earth, a couple in
Maharashtra is expecting their seventh child, and is performing a special yajna
to fulfill their desires. By a strange quirk of fate, these two distinctly
different lives are soon to be intertwined. Fifteen-year-old Meenakshi is no
ordinary girl. Blessed with celestial attributes, she has beauty that would
rival a goddess, a unique communion with nature, and a supernatural being living
inside her. Even so, Meenakshi lives amongst men and eventually, the evil eye
falls upon her.
