RUHI: Eighteen, stubbornly compassionate, wildly sarcastic, and far too willing to throw herself into danger for people she barely knows. Beneath the humor is a girl struggling with an eating disorder, insecurity, and the belief that everyone deserves the compassion she refuses to give herself.
ARJUNA: Twenty, fiercely disciplined, proud, brilliant, and one of the greatest warriors of his age. He's devoted to his family and his Dharma-but meeting a tiny, infuriating stranger who refuses to follow his rules might force him to question everything he thinks he knows about strength.
Ruhi only wanted to explore an ancient cave in India. Instead, she wakes up 5,000 years in the past, just as the Kurukshetra War is about to begin-with knowledge of the future, no way home, and a desperate need to save the people history says must die. As she becomes entangled with the Pandavas, Krishna, and the war itself, Ruhi must learn that knowing the future doesn't mean she can control it-and that saving everyone else may mean finally learning how to save herself.
