Synopsis
Kiranmala has to leave the Kingdom Beyond and return to her hometown of Parsippany to rescue Prince Lal, who has been taken to a tree in her rival's yard. She still has serpents to deal with, and a prophecy names her as a key figure in a coming battle between good and evil. Meanwhile reality itself has begun to flicker, and Kiranmala starts to suspect that the Anti-Chaos Committee may be the cause of a dangerous disruption in the multiverse. She must decide what she believes about the prophecy and what she is prepared to risk to put things right.
