Loyalty. Dreams. Heartbreak. What would you sacrifice to protect those you love? Stranded in a time and place he never wished for, Kishan Rajaram must carry out his destiny of assisting the beautiful yet extremely irritable goddess Durga. This daunting task is not made easy by the fact that he must also face the truth about the girl he loves and the brother who stole her away. When the wily shaman Phet appears and tells Kishan that Kelsey needs him, he jumps at the chance to see her again. Distracted by the girl who left him behind and the choices he must make, Kishan fails to realize that the goddess he’s meant to protect is in grave danger. With the goddess’s power hanging in the balance, Kishan has no choice but to sacrifice the unthinkable to fight the dark forces swirling around the woman he’s coming to admire. As he does, he discovers that love and loyalty create their own magic and accepts that he must decide his destiny once and for all. This volume is the first half of the novel Tiger’s Dream, the epic conclusion to the Tiger’s Curse Series. Left behind in the past with Anamika, Kishan begins to unravel the true origins of the curse and its effect upon all those he loves. The hardback edition includes a prelude written by the author.
