Tilla, as he calls her, (because he can’t pronounce her native name) proves nothing but trouble. Along the way, he acquires, almost by accident, a slave girl who is destined to play a significant role. But a series of events leads him to suspect that something odd is happening, and he eventually gets drawn into investigating.

But how can Aru, Mini, and Brynne hope to defeat him without their celestial weapons? The Sleeper and his army are already plundering the labyrinth, and the sisters can't even enter. *"Chokshi spins a fantastical narrative that seamlessly intertwines Hindu cosmology and folklore, feminism, and witty dialogue for an uproarious novel."-Kirkus Reviews (starred review of Aru Shah and the End of Time)The Pandavas only have until the next full moon to stop the Sleeper from gaining access to the nectar of immortality, which will grant him infinite power.
