Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Trial By FireDevadasi Series, Book 4by Anand PrakashHow many times must a girl prove her worth-before she is allowed to choose herself?In a border village that belongs fully to neither Maharashtra nor Karnataka, thirteen-year-old Parvathi learns that girlhood is not a shelter-it is a neg…otiation.Kalasharam lives by unspoken rules: land obeys power, hunger silences protest, and a devadasi's body is never truly her own. When Parvathi is sent home from school for unpaid fees, her small, defiant act of seeking help sets off a chain reaction that exposes the village's oldest bargain-respect in exchange for surrender. What begins as a desperate search for three hundred rupees becomes a confrontation with inheritance itself: of shame, of silence, of a system that calls exploitation tradition and names survival virtue.At the heart of the story is a mother and daughter locked in opposite directions of time. Sati, who escaped the devadasi life at great cost, will burn the world down before letting her child walk the same path. Jogeshwari, the grandmother, believes hunger is worse than humiliation and that protection only comes through powerful men. Between them stands Parvathi-angry, curious, frightened-asked to prove her worth, her purity, her future, again and again, in a trial she never agreed to take.The Trial by Fire is a searing, intimate story about caste, gender, and the violence hidden inside "custom." Told with quiet ferocity and psychological depth, it asks a radical question: what if the bravest act is not to walk through the fire-but to refuse it?Unflinching, compassionate, and deeply rooted in lived realities, this fourth book in the Devadasi Series marks a turning point-from endurance to choice, from survival to resistance.This book contains violence toward women. This book is for adults only and R-rated. If you are younger than 18 years and if such material offends you, please do not buy this book. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
