    BOOK 1 OF FORBIDDEN SERIES Two kingdoms. One war. And a fire that refused to be extinguished. The battlefield reeked of blood and victory. But all he could see were her eyes-fierce, defiant, brown like the earth that birthed warriors. And in that moment, Rana Abhidev Singh Chauhan, Maharaj of Badhangarh, the undefeated lion of Aryavart, felt something he had never felt before. Not fear. Not mercy. Obsession. He didn't know her name. But he knew one thing-he would have her. As his wife. His queen. His forever. Even if she came for his throat

    'Beauty reflects the Heart Bravery reflects the Soul' Etched into the minds of each Kirenian and the seal of the envelope Manika received as she was chosen to serve the palace, the two lined slogan runs deep in the veins of all society in Kirena. Always there in the back of their minds when they meet someone, lying just beneath thoughts when they judge character and concealed beneath the blanket of old wisdom, the words have seldom helped the beautiful or the wretched. The Masked Sisters deflected the echoing words, an organisation allowed under religion, respected under tradition and thriving in the world that despises scrutiny and scrutinises every aspect of a person. For in such a world, the best way for a person to live, is under the mask of venrance. This is the story of Manika, the last sister to serve the palace. ⊹₊⟡ ⋆✴︎˚。⋆˚☆˖°⋆。° ✮˖ ⊹₊⟡⋆˚⊹₊⟡ ⋆✴︎˚。⋆˚☆˖°⋆。° ✮˖ ⊹₊⟡⋆˚

    Priyadarśana, an accomplished vīṇā musician and ten-year-old leader of the traders of Vārāṇasī, has a secret: he was born a girl! A vidyādharī friend of his mother, Sumanas, applied a magical herb that allowed Priyadarśana to pass for a boy. "How much longer?" Priyadarśana demands to know, before he loses the right to demonstrate his abilities? In Budhasvāmin's Bṛhatkathāślokasaṃgraha, Priyadarśanā is the name of the vidyādharī and the name of the magical herb, as well as the name given to Sumanas's daughter. The text is silent about Priyadarśana's point of view when his gender is abruptly reassigned and he becomes a wife. I have imagined a visit from the vidyādharī to give a voice to Priyadarśana.

    Vālmīki's Rāmāyaṇa inspired the stories in this collection to answer questions such as these: What would Rāma have thought about a monument to mark his janmabhūmi? Why did Rāma tell Bharata that the kingdom was Kaikeyī's bride-price? How did Hanumat get the idea that Rāvaṇa never abducted any unwilling or married woman before Sītā? Why did the luminous herbs disappear when Hanumat came for them? At what age were Rāma and Sītā exiled? Did Hanumat witness Dhānyamālinī or Mandodarī distracting Rāvaṇa from Sītā? How could Mahodara and Mahāpārśva return to battle after they were slain? The title is Saṃskṛta and means "Recognize Ayodhyā In The Wilderness," which was part of Sumitrā's advice to Lakṣmaṇa in Vālmīki's Rāmāyaṇa. The first six chapters are Drabbles of exactly 100 words, and the next eight chapters are Microtales of 15 words. Much later, I added another Drabble as the fifteenth chapter. Each story is based on Vālmīki's Rāmāyaṇa, and supported with citations from the text. Cover Credit: average-student of India Forums, using images from Chitra Ramayana by Balasaheb Pant Pratinidhi.

    On earth, only the turtle Akūpāra still remembered Indradyumna's glorious deeds. While being unforgotten allowed Indradyumna to stay in heaven for now, he developed athazagoraphobia, an overpowering fear of being forgotten. Many characters and incidents from Mahābhārata would be totally forgotten today if not for vestiges in the text that are dramatized in the next six chapters: (1) the battle of Dauḥśāsani with Prativindhya Draupadeya; (2) Bhojyā's reaction to her husband Yuyudhāna Sātyaki's battle with his childhood playmate Duryodhana; (3) Śikhaṇḍin's wife Dāśārṇī meeting Sthūṇa Yakṣa whose manhood her husband had borrowed; (4) Bhīṣma shooting at Śikhaṇḍin; (5) the battle of Śikhaṇḍin's son Kṣatradeva and Duryodhana's son Lakṣmaṇa; (6) blind Dhṛtarāṣṭra's interest in coloured horses. The eighth chapter sketches the lost story of Vidurā and her son Saṃjaya based on clues from their dialogue quoted by Kuntī. Readers have been warned that these are stories of battles, containing violent deaths of several characters, dead bodies, and dismemberment. The book is not marked Mature because the violence is not graphic. The title is Saṃskṛta and means "Your fame is torn up." Cover Credit: @PriyaArshiSarun

    Ṛṡyaśṛṅga guesses that his visitor Alambusā is a woman, a human dimorphic to himself. However, Alambusā dislikes to have a womanly body, preferring to be a man. Alambusa Ārśyaśṛṅgi is the name of a Rākṣasa warrior in Mahābhārata: Alambusa, son of Ṛśyaśṛṅga. My story of the conversation between his parents Alambusā and Ṛśyaśṛṅga builds upon details found in Mahābhārata and Alambusā-jātaka. Unlike other versions of Ṛśyaśṛṅga's story (Mahābhārata and Naḷinikā-jātaka) in which he is the principal character and his misgendering of a sensual woman with masculine and ascetic attributes is humourous, Alambusā-jātaka focusses on Alambusā's spirituality, humility, and extraordinary beauty that Ṛśyaśṛṅga mostly recognizes as feminine. My story inverts Alambusā's motives along with gender identity. The title is Pāḷi and means "Mixed Alambusā Wants Ṛśyaśṛṅga To Mix." Similar words are repeated in the verses of Alambusā-jātaka, but I have changed their inflection from feminine to masculine. The second chapter tells the story of the duel between Bhīma's son Ghaṭotkaca and Duryodhana's son Lakṣmaṇa. Cover credit: oye_nakhrewaali of India Forums
