We Shall Be Monsters

Frankenstein meets Indian mythology in this twisty, darkly atmospheric fantasy where the horror is not the monsters you face but the ones you create. nAfter her sister Lasya's sudden death, Kajal vows to do whatever it takes to bring her back. No cost is too great, even if it means preventing Lasya's soul from being reincarnated. But as Kajal prepares for the resurrection, her sister's soul warps into a bhuta--a violent, wraith-like spirit hell-bent on murdering those who wronged it in life. With each kill, the bhuta becomes stronger, and Kajal's chances of resurrecting Lasya with her soul intact grow slimmer. n nBlamed for Lasya's rampage and condemned as a witch, Kajal is imprisoned, until two strangers who label themselves rebels arrive and offer to free her. The catch: She must resurrect the kingdom's fallen crown prince, aiding their coup to overthrow the usurper on the throne. Desperate to return to Lasya's body, Kajal rushes to revive the crown prince . . . only to discover that she's resurrected another boy entirely. n nAll her life, Kajal has trusted no one but her sister. But with Lasya dead and rebels ready to turn her over to the usurper's 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 Lasya's death: Kajal.n
