We Shall Be Monsters By Tara Sim

In this darkly atmospheric fantasy, Kajal grapples with guilt and desperation as she attempts to resurrect her sister, Lasya, despite knowing it's morally wrong. When Lasya's soul transforms into a murderous bhuta, Kajal is condemned for her sister's rampage. Facing death, she's offered a chance at redemption by two strangers: she must resurrect the kingdom's fallen prince, Tav, to aid a rebellion against a tyrant. Desperate, Kajal agrees, only to discover that Tav isn't the true prince.

Now, Kajal, pragmatic and scientifically minded, teams up with Tav, a skilled swordsman with secrets of his own, to find the real crown prince. Armed with only a scalpel and her undead dog, Kutaa, Kajal races against time before her mistake is exposed or Lasya's bhuta targets her as the true culprit behind her demise.

This twisty narrative blends elements of Frankenstein with Indian mythology, exploring themes of guilt, redemption, and the consequences of playing with life and death. Kajal's journey is a complex exploration of moral ambiguity and the lengths one will go to for love and forgiveness. As she and Tav navigate a treacherous path filled with political intrigue and supernatural threats, they must confront their own demons and unravel the mysteries surrounding the kingdom's fate.

Monica M. Hoffman crafts a mesmerizing tale that challenges perceptions of heroism and villainy, where the true monsters aren't always the supernatural creatures, but the choices and actions of flawed individuals. "The Kingdom's Anatomy" promises a thrilling adventure steeped in dark fantasy and rich cultural mythology, sure to captivate readers with its unique blend of science, magic, and moral dilemmas. 📚❤️
