The Legend of Meneka (Divine Dancers, Book 1)
About this ebook
Across the realms, celestial dancers known as apsaras are revered for their beauty, allure, and enchanting magic.
But Meneka knows that is not all they are. They are weapons – warriors – seducing their targets for Lord Indra, the king of heaven, for his political gain.
When a mortal’s growing powers threaten Lord Indra’s supremacy, Meneka seizes a rare opportunity and strikes a deal. If she can seduce this dangerous man, Indra will grant her what she most desires: her freedom.
But upon meeting the mortal Kaushika, Meneka finds herself captivated, despite his power threatening to destroy everything she’s ever known. Can she overthrow the man who is, little by little, stealing her heart, or is he seducing her instead and to what end?
As war looms in the skies, Meneka must choose between her duty to protect her home, and the man who is showing her what love can truly mean.
