Literary Fiction
by Vaishnavi Patel
Raised on divine legends in the kingdom of Kekaya, Kaikeyi—reviled stepmother of the Ramayana—reclaims her own narrative. Patel reimagines the vilified queen as a complex woman navigating godly boons, political intrigue, and the constraints of patriarchal myth. A lush, revisionist fantasy that centers female agency within ancient epic.
