UNDERWATER PERIL AWAITS Kiya and Kinjal have succeeded in their first quest in the magical world of the Kingdom Beyond, but whatever good they achieved might not be enough. Their faithful flying horses Snowy and Raat reappear and whisk them back to the Kingdom to help the water pari--winged merpeople-who are slowly being poisoned by the very water in which they live. It is up to the twins to figure it out and put a stop to it. Fortunately, Kiya has the know-how to solve this mystery...if only she can put the pieces together before the evil serpent king Sesha knows they've reentered the Kingdom! EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING
About the Author
Hi, I'm Sayantani DasGupta, New York Times bestselling author of the Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond middle grade fantasy series, which includes The Serpent's Secret, Game of Stars, and the Chaos Curse. I'm also the author of She Persisted: Virginia Apgar and a free-standing Kingdom Beyond novel Force of Fire. I'm a pediatrician by training, but I teach now in a field called narrative medicine, and have written several academic books. I grew up hearing stories about brave princess, bloodthirsty rakkhosh and flying pakkhiraj horses. When I'm not writing, reading, or teaching I spends time watching cooking shows with my trilingual children and protecting my dog Khushi from the many things that scare him, including plastic bags. I'm a team member of We Need Diverse books and can be found on Twitter at @sayantani16.
