After granting her special powers, the goddess Parvati tells Pampa Kampana that she will be instrumental in the rise of a great city. Pampa attempts to make good on the task that the goddess set for her: to give women equal agency in a patriarchal world. But all stories have a way of getting away from their creator . . . Styled as a translation of an ancient epic, this brilliant novel is a true testament to the power of storytelling.
