Dvanásťročná Aru má vo zvyku trošičku si prikrášľovať pravdu. Veď čo jej zostáva, ak chce medzi nimi obstáť? V skutočnosti žije v malom byte v budove Múzea starého indického umenia a kultúry, kde jej mama pracuje ako kurátorka. Aru pozná všetky exponáty ako vlastné topánky, až na záhadnú a „prekliatu“ lampu, ktorú má prísne zakázané rozsvecovať. Lenže keď má príležitosť blysnúť sa pred spolužiakmi...
Kto mohol tušiť, aké nepredstaviteľné a strašné veci sa začnú diať?
Aru is just getting the hang of this whole Pandava thing when the Otherworld goes into full panic mode. The god of love's bow and arrow have gone missing, and the thief isn't playing Cupid. If that weren't bad enough, Aru gets framed as the thief. If she doesn't find the arrow by the next full moon, she'll be kicked out of the Otherworld. For good
War between the devas and the demons is imminent, and the Otherworld is on
high alert. Aru Shah and her friends are sent on a mission to rescue two
targets, one of whom is about to utter a prophecy that cannot reach the ears
of villainous the Sleeper. A mystical wish-granting tree might be Aru's only
hope to save the day.
Best-selling author Rick Riordan Presents the penultimate book in the Pandava series by best-selling author Roshani Chokshi. Aru and her sisters--including one who also claims to be the Sleeper's daughter--must find their mentors Hanuman and Urvashi in Lanka, the city of gold, before war breaks out between the devas and asuras. Aru has just made a wish on the tree of wshes, but she can't remember what it was. She's pretty sure she didn't wish for a new sister, one who looks strangely familiar and claims to be the Sleeper's daughter, like her. Aru also isn't sure she still wants to fight on behalf of the devas in the war against the Sleeper and his demon army. The devas have been too devious up to now. Case in point: two of the Pandavas' mentors, Hanuman and Urvashi, have been mysteriously detained in Lanka, the city of gold. Why? The Pandavas need to find them and get some answers before the Otherworld's magic fades completely in the human realm. Aru's biggest question, though, is why every adult she has loved and trusted so far has failed her. Will she come to peace with what they've done before she has to wage the battle of her life? Filled with wondrous magic, unforgettable creatures, manipulative gods, and laugh-out-loud dialogue, this fourth book in the Pandava series will leave readers wishing they could read the finale right now.
