Halfway to the heavens, in a realm hidden by clouds, a divine beauty—a Yakshini—is facing a

sentence for her folly.

Down on earth, a couple in Maharashtra is expecting their seventh child, and is performing a special

yajna to fulfill their desires.

By a strange quirk of fate, these two distinctly different lives are soon to be intertwined.
Fifteen-year-old Meenakshi is no ordinary girl. Blessed with celestial attributes, she has beauty that
would rival a goddess’, a unique communion with nature, and a supernatural being living inside her.
Even so, Meenakshi lives amongst men and eventually, the evil eye falls upon her. That’s when the
Yakshini inside her awakens. As the Yakshini takes control, Meenakshi is catapulted into a world
of passion and violence that even threatens her husband’s life.
Neil D’Silva’s Yakshini is a toe-curling, spine-tingling tale where mythology comes deliciously alive
on the page. With its fantastic creatures and unforgettable characters, the book highlights the tussle
between the supernatural and the human, sure to enchant all readers.
