Chapter 1

Among the greatest epics ever told, one tale remained unwritten - the tale of a girl born not of battle or kingdom, but of quiet flame. Found in a sacred forest by King Pandu, raised as the sixth child of the Kuru line, Maitreyi, lovingly called Mitu, grows up loved by her warrior brothers and doting mothers. She laughs, learns, stumbles, and shines like any other child. But the air changes when she walks, and trouble seems to always find her.
