 All monsters and heroes have beginnings. This is mine.\n\nSixteen-year-old
  Manisha is no stranger to monsters—she’s been running from them for years
 \, from beasts who roam the jungle to the King’s army\, who forced her peo
 ple\, the naga\, to scatter to the ends of the earth. You might think that
  the kingdom’s famed holy temples atop the floating mountains\, where Mani
 sha is now a priestess\, would be safe—but you would be wrong.\n\nSeventee
 n-year-old Pratyush is a famed slayer of monsters\, one of the King’s most
  prized warriors and a frequent visitor to the floating temples. For every
  monster the slayer kills\, years are added to his life. You might think s
 uch a powerful warrior could do whatever he wants\, but true power lies wi
 th the King. Tired after years of fighting\, Pratyush wants nothing more t
 han a peaceful\, respectable life.\n\nWhen Pratyush and Manisha meet\, eac
 h sees in the other the possibility to chart a new path. Unfortunately\, t
 he kingdom’s powerful have other plans. A temple visitor sexually assaults
  Manisha and pushes her off the mountain into a pit of vipers. A month lat
 er\, the King sends Pratyush off to kill one last monster (a powerful nagi
 n who has been turning men to stone) before he’ll consider granting his fr
 eedom.\n\nExcept Manisha doesn’t die\, despite the hundreds of snake bites
  covering her body and the venom running through her veins. She rises from
  the pit more powerful than ever before\, with heightened senses\, armor-l
 ike skin\, and blood that can turn people to stone. And Pratyush doesn’t k
 now it\, but the “monster” he’s been sent to kill is none other than the g
 irl he wants to marry.\n\nAlternating between Manisha’s and Pratyush’s per
 spectives\, Sajni Patel weaves together lush language\, high stakes\, and 
 page-turning suspense\, demanding an answer to the question “What does it
