"Drawing from Indian mythology, a teen girl desperate to bring her sister back from the dead is forced to first resurrect the kingdom's fallen prince, but accidentally awakens the wrong boy"-- Provided by publisher. After her sister Lasyas sudden death, Kajal vows to do whatever it takes to bring her back. No cost is too great, even if it means preventing Lasyas soul from joining the cycle of reincarnation. But as Kajal prepares for the resurrection, her sisters trapped soul warps into a bhutaa violent, wraith-like spirit hell-bent on murdering those who wronged it in life. With each kill, the bhuta becomes stronger and fiercer, and Kajals chances of resurrecting Lasya with her soul intact grow slimmer.

The catch: She must resurrect the kingdoms fallen crown prince, aiding their coup to overthrow the usurper who sits the throne. Desperate to return to Lasyas body, Kajal rushes to revive the crown prince . . . only to discover that shes resurrected another boy entirely. All her life, Kajal has trusted no one but her sister. But with Lasya dead and rebels ready to turn her over to the usurpers ruthless soldiers, Kajal is forced to work with the boy she mistakenly revived. Together, they must find the crown prince before the rebels discover her mistake, or the bhuta finally turns its murderous fury on the person truly responsible for Lasyas death: Kajal.
