took a while to finish bc i was busy with life but very good story. priya and bhumika are temple elders and ruling arithanyi. malini is trying to take the throne from chandra. she eventually asks priya to help her and priya comes to her and does. but the yaksa are back to take the world over. malini eventually gets the throne and kills chandra. priya is told to cut out malini from her heart and she stabs her and then goes back home. bhumika is told how to kill the yaksa but then goes somewhere unknown. adityi gives himself up to the fire and dies. priya and malini confess their love for each other but it’s not enough in this world and time. not sure how book 3 will go
