But starting out with The Star-Touched Queen certainly is going to set the bar very high. While, I am very familiar with Greek mythology, I am admittedly not very familiar with much Indian Folklore. It is a blend of greek mythology and Indian folklore.

The Star-Touched Queen is the debut young adult fantasy novel by Roshani Chokshi. Yet who, besides her husband, can she trust? With the fate of the human and Otherworldly realms hanging in the balance, Maya must unravel an ancient mystery that spans reincarnated lives to save those she loves the most…including herself. Soon, Maya suspects her life is in danger. Desire…īut Akaran has its own secrets-thousands of locked doors, gardens of glass, and a tree that bears memories instead of fruit. As Amar’s wife, she finds something else entirely: Compassion. Neither roles are what she expected: As Akaran’s queen, she finds her voice and power. Soon Maya becomes the queen of Akaran and wife of Amar. Content to follow more scholarly pursuits, her whole world is torn apart when her father, the Raja, arranges a wedding of political convenience to quell outside rebellions. With a horoscope that promises a marriage of death and destruction, she has earned only the scorn and fear of her father’s kingdom. What does it take to be the queen of a kingdom when you’re only seventeen?
