Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Aru Shah has just made a wish on the Tree of Wishes, but she can't remember what it was. She's pretty sure she didn't wish for a new sister, Kara, who claims to be the Sleeper's daughter, like her. But Kara is the only person who can help Aru escape the Sleeper's lair and get back home, so she has no choice but to trust her. Aru also isn't sure she still wants to fight on behalf of the devas in the war against the asuras; the gods have been too devious up to now. Case in point: Kubera, ruler of Lanka, the city of gold, promises to give the Pandavas two powerful weapons, but only if they win his trials. If they lose, they won't stand a chance against the Sleeper's army, which will soon march on Lanka to take over the Otherworld. But Aru's biggest question is why every adult she has loved and trusted so far has failed her. Will she make peace with what they've done before she has to wage the battle of her life?
