The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, she is raised on tales of the gods: how they churned the vast ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land of Bharat prospers, and how they offer powerful boons to the devout and the wise.

And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesperate for some measure of independence, she turns to the texts she once read with her mother and discovers a magic that is hers alone.
