War between the devas and the demons is imminent, and the Otherworld is on high alert. When intelligence from the human world reveals that the Sleeper is holding a powerful clairvoyant and her sister captive, 14-year-old Aru and her friends launch a search-and-rescue mission. The captives, a pair of twins, turn out to be the newest Pandava sisters, though, according to a prophecy, one sister is not true.
During the celebration of Holi, the heavenly attendants stage a massage PR rebranding campaign to convince everyone that the Pandavas are to be trusted. As much as Aru relishes the attention, she fears that she is destined to bring destruction to her sisters, as the Sleeper has predicted. Aru believes that the only way to prove her reputation is to find the Kalpavriksha, the wish-granting tree that came out of the Ocean of Milk when it was churned. If she can reach it before the Sleeper, perhaps she can turn everything around with one wish.
Careful what you wish for, Aru . . .

For the third time, Soneela Nankani narrates the adventures of Aru Shah. She will again please listeners with the fast-paced dialogue, wit, clever references, humor, and dynamics of 14-year-old Aru and her friends, Mini, Brynne, and Adin. Nankani adds to Aru's crew of three (and her repertoire) with the arrogance and flaws of Rudy, a serpent prince. In the midst of seeking a wish-granting tree, Aru and her friends take on a quest to rescue a clairvoyant twin from the clutches of Sleeper. Nankani represents Aru's mix of feelings about her father as smoothly as she negotiates the Hindu-drawn world of gods and creatures and the non-stop action. S.W. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
