If she were, she wouldn\u2019t selfishly be risking her sister\u2019s soul in a dangerous bid to bring her back to life. She would let Lasya rest in peace\u2014but Kajal cannot stand the horror of living without her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">As Kajal prepares for the resurrection, the worst happens: Her sister\u2019s soul warps into a bhuta\u2014a murderous, wraith-like spirit\u2014and Kajal gets sentenced to death for her sister\u2019s rampage. There seems little hope of escape until two strangers offer to free her. The catch: She must resurrect the kingdom\u2019s fallen crown prince to aid a growing rebellion against a tyrannical usurper. Desperate, Kajal rushes to complete her end of the deal . . . only to discover that the boy she\u2019s resurrected, Tav, is not the crown prince.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Now Kajal\u2014prickly, proud, admirer of the scientific method\u2014must team up with Tav\u2014stubborn, reticent, and fonder of swords than of books\u2014to find the real crown prince. With only a scalpel and her undead dog, Kutaa, at her side, Kajal must work fast before her mistake is exposed or Lasya\u2019s bhuta turns its murderous fury on the person truly responsible for her death: Kajal herself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":487,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"template":"","tags":[35,36],"series":[41],"class_list":["post-486","books","type-books","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-series","tag-ya","series-we-shall-be-monsters"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tarasim.com\/staging\/4659\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/books\/486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tarasim.com\/staging\/4659\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/books"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tarasim.com\/staging\/4659\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/books"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tarasim.com\/staging\/4659\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tarasim.com\/staging\/4659\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tarasim.com\/staging\/4659\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=486"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tarasim.com\/staging\/4659\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
