Urnabhih: Chanakya’s Scribe
Sumedha V Ojha
Misrakesi, Acharya Chanakya’s scribe in the Mauryan Palace, part of the royal administration; Misrakesi, with child, carrying the future Senapati of the Mauryans; Misrakesi, the new wife, trying to fit into one of the most powerful families in the kingdom while battling both assassins and more intimate threats to her own happiness with Pushyamitra. This is the new reality of the dancing girl from Ujjain, who had first come to this city of secrets with only revenge on her mind. In this sequel to Urnabhih, book one, Misrakesi finds herself vulnerable at the centre of a political chakravyuh. Her child, her husband, her family, and her very existence all seem to be pawns in an unseen but lethal game of power swirling around her.
