Synopsis
 
~ 2023 ~ 

When Yuktha, a free-spirited journalist, agrees to replace her friend on an assignment in the remote village of Periyoor, she expects a few quiet days documenting rural life. But what she stumbles upon is a world frozen in time-a village ruled by Chinna Marudhaiyar, where the devadasi system still thrives in secrecy.

Among the temple dancers is Simhavahini, or Vahini, a woman of mesmerizing beauty and quiet sorrow. Dedicated to the temple as a child, her life has been one of unwavering devotion, dictated by customs she never chose. But beneath the graceful dancer lies a heart yearning for something more.

Yuktha is captivated, first by Vahini's artistry, then by the woman herself. What begins as curiosity soon turns into an undeniable pull-one that Vahini, despite her fears, cannot ignore. But in Periyoor, love is not hers to claim, and desire is a crime with dire consequences.

With faith, love, and survival at war, Yuktha and Vahini must fight for the right to shape their own destinies. But Periyoor does not let go of its own so easily, and the cost of defiance may be greater than they ever imagined.

"The Last Devadasi" is a story of forbidden love, rebellion, and the courage to break free, set against the haunting beauty of a world that refuses to change.All Rights Reserved

« WAM book two » Ada was tired of running. Yes, she was the one with the lockpicks who helped Sam the winter prior with her little key issue. It's one of the many bizarre, frankly illegal things she's good at. It would take a long time to explain it all, but suffice it to say she helped Charles and Jocelyn, twins six years her senior, steal a lot of shit.

It was supposed to be in the bag. She did everything right. Some clerical error led to the warrant being thrown out before it even reached court, along with the entire case. Charles and Jocelyn walked, but Ada was already running by then. So, it's back to square one. She's up to her eyeballs in werewolf politics, trying to be the perfect girlfriend while planning the biggest heist of her life in a last ditch effort to put her greedy siblings behind bars, for good this time. ‎ ‎ [ THIS BOOK CONTAINS: profanity, violence, death, suggestive content (steamy), drug & alcohol use ] ◇ Length: 107,000 words ◇ We Are Monsters Series: - We Are Monsters - Magic Tricks - Dishonoured - a WAM novella - Moon Magic
