So begins Kaikeyi's tale. The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, she is raised on grand stories about the might and benevolence of the gods: how they churned vast oceans to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they offer the devoted and the wise magnificent boons, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land prospers. Yet she watches as her father unceremoniously banishes her mother, her own worth measured by how great a marriage alliance she can secure. And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear. Desperate for some measure of independence, she turns to the ancient texts she once read with her mother and discovers a magic that is hers alone. She uses it to transform herself from overlooked princess into warrior, diplomat, and most-favored queen, determined to forge a better world for herself than the one that gods and men have granted. But as the demons of stories Kaikeyi grew up hearing threaten the cosmic order, her will clashes with the path that the gods have chosen for her family-and especially that of her beloved son, Rama. And she must decide if her resistance is worth the destruction it will wreak...and what legacy she intends to leave behind"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a KaikeyiÌ $c (Hindu mythological character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Queens $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hindu gods $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Demonology $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hindu mythology $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Hindu mythology $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Reines $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Dieux hindous $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a DeÌmonologie $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Mythologie hindoue $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical / Ancient. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Fantasy / Historical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends & Mythology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Diversity & Multicultural. $2 bisacsh 600 07 $a KaikeyiÌ $c (Hindu mythological character) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985714 650 7 $a Queens. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01085637 650 7 $a Hindu gods. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01729907 650 7 $a Demonology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890199 650 7 $a Hindu mythology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01729920 650 7 $a Queens $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Hinduism $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Demonology $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Folklore. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726607 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Mythological fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01941329 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Mythological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 941 $a 2 $n 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20230817093409.0 $n 10 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20230626084856.0 $n 12 $p + 1 LP, 1 CD 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=42472E10142511EE8E0ED416233FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
