About the Book:-

The Mahabharal is renowned for its great battles, heroic men, and gods walking the pathways of mortals. However, the beating heart of the epic is often forgotten the stories of its women. Many of these exceptional women appear in Song of Draupadi-the indomitable Satyavati, the otherworldly Ganga, the indestructible Kunti, and the tenacious Gandhari-but the passionate and fiery Draupadi rises above them all to grip the imagination of the reader.

Born of a dangerous sacrifice, Draupadi and her brother Drishtadumna are called forth to avenge Drona's insult to their father. While Drishtadumna is expected to kill Drona on the battlefield, Draupadi's role is not set out, but she dreams of fire and blood. From beloved daughter and princess of Panchala to wife of the brave Pandavas and queen of Indraprastha, Draupadi finds herself exiled to the forest, humiliated and determined on vengeance. The novel is a symphony, in several keys, of her voice and those of the other women around her- arguing, pleading, reasoning, and often raised in righteous anger.
