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 . . .

    Elizabeth ★★★★★

    I was a little worried this would feel too much like a typical quest storyline, but the way the tension ramps up with the war between devas and demons genuinely kept me flipping pages. Aru’s voice is so sharp and funny that even the high-stakes mission to rescue the two targets feels personal. Easil

    The mission to rescue the two targets gives this book such a fast, layered pace, and Aru's voice feels even sharper than in the earlier books. I loved how the tension between the devas and demons builds while still leaving room for the characters to crack jokes.

    George ★★★★★

    I stayed up way past midnight because the mission to rescue those two targets pulls you in immediately, and Aru’s voice feels even sharper than in the earlier books. The way the war between devas and demons raises the stakes without losing the humor is exactly why I keep coming back to this series.
