I'm sorry if this doesn't fit in with the ideas people have about romance and epics but it's a true story, and I'm going to tell the truth here, because no one ever will. Who is Satyavati? Truth-teller. Daughter of water. Child of apsara and king. Cursed from birth. Fish-smell girl. Growing up as a girl in the Vedic age is anything but easy - and even harder for the future Queen of Hastinapur, the kingdom of all kingdoms. She must contend with magic islands, difficult sages, calculating foster parents, sexual awakening and loneliness. Even when she is at the threshold of the capital, king Shantanu, smitten though he is with her, already has a crown prince from his wedlock with a goddess. Young Satyavati must walk on thorns to reach her destiny in a world ruled by men. One of young India's most feisty voices, Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan, coaxes the lesser-known girls of the Mahabharata out of the shadows. Now watch them flare up and take on their worlds.
