The Jasmine Throne by Tashi Suri (Fantasy, LGBTQ+)
The beginning a new trilogy set in a world inspired by the history and epics of India, in which a captive princess and a maidservant in possession of forbidden magic become unlikely allies on a dark journey to save their empire from the princess's traitor brother.
Imprisoned by her dictator brother, Malini spends her days in isolation in the Hirana: an ancient temple that was once the source of the powerful, magical deathless waters — but is now little more than a decaying ruin.
Priya is a maidservant, one among several who make the treacherous journey to the top of the Hirana every night to clean Malini’s chambers. She is happy to be an anonymous drudge, so long as it keeps anyone from guessing the dangerous secret she hides.
Copies of the regular print edition will be available at the library's Circulation Desk one month ahead of the meeting. Ebook and audiobook can be found on the Libby app. Plan ahead - don't forget you can place & suspend your holds!
