Between the Divine and the Diabolical there is .. Devi
When the dread dark lord, Bala, threatened humanity, the gods sacrificed a part of divine power… a Devi. Centuries later, when Bala rose again, Devi was incarnated in the form of young woman, Tara Mehta. But the latest Devi incarnate is more than a Goddess, she is also human. After defeating Bala, Devi defies the Gods and chooses to stay in the earthly realm to protect Sitapur. As she comes to terms with her new role, she must deal with Apsara assassin, Kratha, determined to kill her, the shady underworld dons making their move on Sitapur and a mysterious super-powered being who hunts the Devi for purposes unknown.
“An impressive read, with a look and story that effectively evokes a mythological tone… well-written and beautifully drawn.” – Bags and Boards, Variety.com
“I was fascinated by the representation of the female energy in our mythology as complete opposites… the Avenger and the Nurturer.” – From the introduction by Shekhar Kapur
Shekhar Kapur, Director of the eight-time Academy Award nominated film Elizabeth, and of the critically acclaimed Indian hit movies Bandit Queen, Mr. India and Masoom, tells the story of a Goddess as a woman forced to live two opposite lives, weaving a tale of compassion, deception and intrigue.
