MEET KIRANMALA: INTERDIMENSIONAL DEMONSLAYER<\/p>\n

(But she doesn\u2019t know it yet.)<\/p>\n

On the morning of her twelfth birthday, Kiranmala is just a regular sixth grader living in Parsippany, New Jersey\u2026 until her parents mysteriously vanish later that day and a rakkhosh demon slams through her kitchen, determined to eat her alive. Turns out there might be some truth to her parents\u2019 fantastical stories\u2014like how Kiranmala is a real Indian princess\u2014and a wealth of secrets about her origin they’ve kept hidden.<\/p>\n

To complicate matters, two crushworthy Indian princes ring her doorbell, insisting they\u2019re here to rescue her. Suddenly, Kiran is swept into another dimension full of magic, winged horses, moving maps, and annoying, talking birds. There she must solve riddles and slay demons all while avoiding the Serpent King of the underworld (who may or may not want to kill her) and the rakkhoshi queen (who definitely does) in order to find her parents and basically save New Jersey, her entire world, and everything beyond it\u2026
