Elusive as a fragment of a forgotten dream, fragile as a figment from fantasy, Mohini is perfection
made possible.
Distilled from the essence of Vishnu, Mohini the Enchantress is a part of him and yet she revels
in the autonomy and extraordinary powers of beauty, magic and enchantment that are hers to
wield. She is loved and desired by all in existence and yet, she is elusive—a tantalizing temptress,
traipsing her way across the topsy-turvy terrain of fable and myth.
Mohini’s meandering path will see her in the thick of things as the Devas and Asuras try to get
their hands on Amrita—the nectar of immortality, blunder into a love triangle that will spark a
bloody war, fulfil the last wish of a dead hero, and traipse into a romantic tryst with Mahadeva.
She also becomes the mother of Shastha, a beacon of hope for all who are considered oddities by
a spiteful society that recognizes only two genders.
Set against the tumult and intrigue of a celestial quest for immortality, Anuja Chandramouli brings
the extraordinary saga of Mohini to vivid life. She takes the reader on a dizzying ride through
the shifting sands of time, expertly navigating the quagmire of gender, love, lust and desire, deftly
untangling the threads of tall tales and terrible truths, while spinning a deliciously entertaining
yarn for the ages. ABOUT THE AUTHOR - ANUJA CHANDRAMOULI is a bestselling Indian author and new-age Indian classicist widely
