Devi India's first super heroine. A native of mythical Indian city of Sitapur, Tara Mehta has no idea that she is about to become the centerpiece of a divine battle between the Gods of Light that created her and the demon Lord Bala and his army of things that go bump in the night. But in a never-ending war where innocent human souls are unfortunate, but acceptable, collateral damage, the all-to-human Goddess begins to wonder if either side deserves to win in Sitapur, city of modern atop ancient, mixed amongst the profane, where the divine drifts toward the diabolical.

The power of the goddess is unrivaled. Forged by the strength of the gods, the force the goddess Devi retains is meant to bring balance among gods and men. But the current Devi Incarnate is different. Her female host, Tara Mehta, is still alive and struggles to comprehend the awesome responsibility she now faces. Humanity is threatened by the fallen Lord Bala and salvation rests in the hands of a goddess-torn in two. Devi wields the power of the gods, but now the virtue that makes the female entity so distinct, yet so vulnerable: compassion. The Divine and Diabolical collide in an epic battle, culminating in a night of reckoning in Devi: Samvara, the exciting sequel to the first trade paperback

Once she was human, but now Tara Mehta is Devi, the living goddess and protector of mankind. A new chapter begins in Tara's life as she comes face-to-face with those who granted her powers to her, the gods of Akashik. All is not well within the pantheon, as power struggles and devious designs have escalated into an all-out war. As the conflict threatens to spill over into our world, Devi faces her biggest challenge yet: protecting mankind from being destroyed by their own gods.
