Will the giglworms return to the Forest of Gul Izta and make the Dazlkos well again? Can Emperaza Shoon Ya find a way to save the mithyakos from the bloody destruction of The Great Zamara? Who will emerge victorious, and who will be banished to the Fiery Lands? Read and find out! About the Author: Roopa Pai suspects she has alien blood, for two reasons.

Among her published works are a four-book science series, Sister Sister (Pratham Books), and two girl-power books, Kaliyuga Sita and Mechanic Mumtaz (UNICEF).
