The Princess of Panchala

What happens when Myth meets Reality?

When Demie eludes a supernatural abduction, her younger sister is taken instead. The teenager escapes into an alternate universe where she finds that she is stuck with divorced parents, a reputation for being crazy and that her sister was never even born.

Consumed by guilt and determined to regain her sister, nothing prepares the girl for the moment when her consciousness is thrust into Panchala – the online Hindu MMORPG game world where her sister was taken.

There, Demie meets Princess Draupadi and her five husbands, who is not just a guide and the key to finding her sister, but is Demie’s only friend. While Draupadi and Demie search for answers they are pursued by Kali the Destroyer of Worlds, a demi-goddess the game programmers created to destroy Demie. The fabric of Panchala begins to disintegrate around Demie, threatening to wipe out her existence if it collapses.

But Demie will risk her life to bring back her sister, or die trying.
