Epic Love Stories

Love that rewrites destiny. Love that is forbidden. Love that refuses to die.

Meet Radha, slipping into the forest on moonless nights to steal moments with her beloved Krishna; Mandodari, whose devotion to Ravana outlives tragedy; Draupadi, whose heart remains tethered to Arjun's despite fate's unexpected twists; Savitri, who walks beside Death itself to reclaim her husband; and Rukmini, forever longing for a love she can never be sure she can have forever.

Epic Love Stories brings together sixteen unforgettable romances from India's history, myths and legends, in which devas, asuras, kings, queens and apsaras are undone by the force that moves the mortal world-love in all its joy, ache, conflict and surrender.

Evocative and deeply moving, this richly imagined collection of stories offers a sweeping portrait of love's many shades-devotion and desire, sacrifice and heartbreak, legend and magic, all woven together in stories that transcend time.
