BLURB
She was one of the most beautiful woman Asura Sambara had laid his eyes on.
Possessing a beauty of this magnitude became his passion. Sambara kidnapped her and whisked her off to his palace.
Mayavati knows she has no option but to bow down to his wishes. But what about the young man who always haunts her dreams? She had no clue why she was in this palace but after speaking to the mischief making Sage Narada, it all started making sense to her.
Who was Mayavati and what was she doing in Asura’s palace?
Was Sambara her destiny?
Disclaimer: This short story is a mythological fiction and should be treated as such. The author does not claim it to be a retelling of the Puranas. This piece is a product of her unbridled imagination.
My Honest Review:
Grab your copy @
Rubina's stories have always intrigued me and have left me in
awe. So when she chose mythology for her new book I was curious. I recently
developed a liking for mythology, so I loved what I read. Though I have read
other versions of this story, I am curious to read it through Rubina's lens.
The only thing which I would like to point out is the book
cover. Though we say never judge a book by its cover, I wish the book cover was
different, depicting the mythology character on which the book is based. But the
present one is not bad.
Hoping to read the full story soon.
