內容簡介

內容簡介 取材自印度神話乳海翻騰許願樹，由Rick Riordan Presents推出 Rick Riordan Presents 是 Disney-Hyperion Publishing 家族的一個小分支，由《波西傑克森》Rick Riordan雷克·萊爾頓負責把關，培植不同文化背景的作家，讓他們根據自己國家的神話故事或民間傳說，講述自己的故事。Roshani Chokshi是印度裔作家，她融合印度宇宙學和流行文化，在對話中展現女性力量。 14歲的女孩Aru Shah和她的朋友，肩負兩重任。其中之一，是關於一對能說關鍵預言的般度族雙胞胎姊妹，但預言又說其中一個人不是真的。要完成任務，Aru Shah得趕在魔王之前找到Kalpavriksha一棵來自翻騰乳海的許願樹。對它許願，也許就能瞬間逆轉局勢…。 Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents the third book in the New York Times best-selling Pandava series by Roshani Chokshi. War between the devas and the demons is imminent, and the Otherworld is on high alert. Fourteen-year-old Aru Shah and her friends are sent on a mission to rescue two targets, one of whom is about to utter a prophecy that could mean the difference between victory and defeat. Turns out the targets, a pair of twins, are the newest Pandava sisters, though the prophecy says that one sister is not true. When the Pandavas fail to prevent the prophecy from reaching the Sleeper's ears, the heavenly attendants ask them to step aside. Aru believes that the only way to put the shine back on their brand is to find the Kalpavriksha, the wish-granting tree that came out of the Ocean of Milk when it was churned. If she can reach it before the Sleeper, perhaps she can turn everything around with one wish. Careful what you wish for, Aru... Percy Jackson meets Sailor Moon in this enchanting, funny, and adventuresome series inspired by Hindu stories. Praise for the Pandava Series: *Chokshi seamlessly weaves Indian cosmology and pop culture into a refreshingly feminist plot laced with witty dialogue. The most compelling feature of the novel, however, is the complexity of its characters, who, despite their divinity or semidivinity, are at their core very human. This will leave fans enthralled and clamoring for more.--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Look for these other fan favorites from Rick Riordan Presents: ．The Storm Runner by J.C.
