THE FISHER QUEEN'S DYNASTY
Matsyagandha, Daseyi, Yojanagandha. . . the queen of Hastinapur, Satyavati. Abandoned as a baby, preyed on by a rishi, she hardens herself, determined that the next time she is with a man, she will be the one to win. And win she does: the throne of Hastinapur for herself, and the promise that her sons will be heirs to the kingdom. But at what cost? In a palace where she is disdained and scorned, Satyavati must set aside her own loss and pain if she is to play the game of politics. She learns to be ruthless, unscrupulous. . . traits that estrange her from everyone around. Everyone, except the man she cheated of his birthright.
