But born out of the sacred fire, Draupadi is no ordinary woman, and her destiny cannot be to walk the beaten path. Witnessing estrangement and betrayal within her own family makes her perceptive and intuitive beyond her years. A complicated marital relationship, a meteoric rise and a fateful loss. humiliation unheard of and a pledge of revenge, all culminating in a bloody war-her ordeal seems never-ending. Yet she stands up to it all-never succumbing, never breaking. One of the most unforgettable characters of Mahabharata, Draupadi shows what a woman is capable of.
Narrated with great sensitivity and passion, this book brings alive a character of epic proportions that resonates with every reader across space and time.
