Product Details
Malavika Kannan's debut - The Bookweaver's Daughter - is a tale of magic, Indian lore, and radical female friendship. Reya Kandhari's father is the latest in the fabled line of Bookweavers, tracing centuries back to the lost Yogis of ancient India--the mythical guardians of Kasmiri culture who created the world itself. As a result, Reya's entire life has been shaped by words. Words of mystique and mythology. Words of magic that can bring stories to life. Words of power that make her father the target of tyrants. Reya must pass the final test: the Bookweaver's daughter must weave her own destiny. The fate of Kasmira depends on it.
