Description

In modern day India, Detective Kali Das helps Shakuntala locate her lost ring.
Somewhere else, a grieving mother, whose newborn daughter has been mysteriously killed, seeks revenge.
In a magical College, a yogini is woken from her twenty year slumber, and asked to find a rogue yakshi.
Through these three short stories, that fit into different genres and skirt the edges of both fantasy and reality, Vijayalakshmi Harish makes you ask, "What if?"

The book has been edited by Sandhya Renukamba (Senior Editor, Women's Web), and Kasturi Patra (Writer.)
