In the organizer's words:

Nepal, 2001: A girl lives as a reincarnated goddess, locked up in a temple. The pilgrims who visit her daily are her only contact with the outside world. But her time as a so-called "Kumari" is running out. While a bloody sacrificial festival is celebrated in her honor throughout Nepal, Maoist rebels in the hinterland are preparing to overthrow the king. A civil war threatens.
At the height of the festival, the young partisan Rupa Rana arrives in the capital Kathmandu with a crucial secret mission. Crown Prince Dipendra also returns to his homeland, his head full of strange ideas and filled with an inexplicable hunger. Their paths cross. The outcome of their fateful encounter will determine whether the celebrations end with a new beginning or a bloodbath ...
A gripping, eloquent novel about love and family, freedom and obedience and the risk of taking fate into one's own hands amidst all the chaos. Loosely based on the historical events surrounding the child goddess Kumari, the book takes up a subject that has never been told as a novel before.
