The Third Eye
Key Features A universally appealing tale of good overcoming evil. A compelling female lead:brave, intelligent and feisty. The introduction of Gods from Indian mythology-Ganesh, Yama-adds colour and dimension to the tale. The narrative and characters will especially appeal to readers of young-adult fiction. About the Book: The Third Eye Chronicles the thrilling adventures of Tara, a brave and feisty girl. The first book of the Tara Trilogy. For Tara and her brother, Suraj, the year their mother and grandfather fled the village of Morni in the middle of the night has been a nightmare. Their new stepmother is cruel and deceitful, and the village itself is lacking a healer. What's more, men of the village have been disappearing, often returning in a strange, altered form. When a new healer, Zarku, a mysterious man with a third eye who possesses strange power, suddenly appears in Morni, all are mesmerized by his magic-all except Tara, who sees through his evil disguise. With nothing but her own courage and wit, Tara tries to find her missing mother and her grandfather, the true healer, in time to save her village. But along the way she must enlist the help of the god Ganesh and the lord of death, Yama, or she, like others before her, will fall victim to Zarku's third eye.
