The protagonist, Kiranmala, has been raised in Parsippany, New Jersey, by parents who told her stories that she believed to merely be fanciful, about princesses and demons. And truth be told, at the beginning of the story, Kiranmala is embarrassed by her parents.
On her 12th birthday, Kiranmala comes home to discover her home in disarray and her parents disappeared. And then, two colorfully-clad princes show up, warning of dire peril.
The trio confront a ravenous demon and thus in spite of her disbelief and skepticism, Kiranmala finds herself on a quest in a magical dimension where the creatures from her parents' stories are real.
This story was a lot of fun to read, and is sure to appeal to fans of mythology-based fantasy. It is first in a planned series, Kiranmala and the Kingdom Beyond.
