Best-selling author Rick Riordan Presents the penultimate book in the Pandava series by best-selling author Roshani Chokshi. Aru and her sisters--including one who also claims to be the Sleeper's daughter--must find their mentors Hanuman and Urvashi in Lanka, the city of gold, before war breaks out between the devas and asuras. Aru has just made a wish on the tree of wshes, but she can't remember what it was. She's pretty sure she didn't wish for a new sister, one who looks strangely familiar and claims to be the Sleeper's daughter, like her. Aru also isn't sure she still wants to fight on behalf of the devas in the war against the Sleeper and his demon army. The devas have been too devious up to now. Case in point: two of the Pandavas' mentors, Hanuman and Urvashi, have been mysteriously detained in Lanka, the city of gold. Why? The Pandavas need to find them and get some answers before the Otherworld's magic fades completely in the human realm. Aru's biggest question, though, is why every adult she has loved and trusted so far has failed her. Will she come to peace with what they've done before she has to wage the battle of her life? Filled with wondrous magic, unforgettable creatures, manipulative gods, and laugh-out-loud dialogue, this fourth book in the Pandava series will leave readers wishing they could read the finale right now.

War between the devas and the demons is imminent, and the Otherworld is on high alert. Fourteen-year-old Aru Shah and her friends are sent on a mission to rescue two "targets," one of whom is about to utter a prophecy that could mean the difference between victory and defeat. Turns out the targets, a pair of twins, are the newest Pandava sisters, though the prophecy says that one sister is not true. When the Pandavas fail to prevent the prophecy from reaching the Sleeper's ears, the heavenly attendants ask them to step aside. Aru believes that the only way to put the shine back on their brand is to find the Kalpavriksha, the wish-granting tree that came out of the Ocean of Milk when it was churned. If she can reach it before the Sleeper, perhaps she can turn everything around with one wish. Careful what you wish for, Aru . . .

Aru is just getting the hang of this whole Pandava thing when the Otherworld goes into full panic mode. The god of love's bow and arrow have gone missing, and the thief isn't playing Cupid. If that weren't bad enough, Aru gets framed as the thief. If she doesn't find the arrow by the next full moon, she'll be kicked out of the Otherworld. For good

Aru Shah wypowiedziała życzenie przy Drzewie Życzeń – ale nie pamięta jego treści. Przy czym ma prawie całkowitą pewność, że nie życzyła sobie kolejnej siostry… Kara twierdzi, że też jest córką Śpiącego. To także jedyna osoba, która może pomóc Aru w ucieczce z kryjówki Śpiącego i powrocie do domu, więc nasza bohaterka nie ma wyjścia: musi zaufać Karze. Aru dręczą też wątpliwości, czy powinna nadal walczyć po stronie dewów w wojnie z asurami. Bogowie do tej pory nie wykazywali się zbytnią szczerością wobec niej i jej przyjaciół. Jak Kubera, władca złotego miasta Lanka, który obiecał drużynie Ziemniaków dwie potężne bronie, ale pod warunkiem że siostry przejdą pomyślnie ciężkie próby. Jeśli im się nie uda, nie będą miały szans w walce z armią Śpiącego, która ma niebawem ruszyć na Lankę, a później na cały Innoświat.

Życie ARU SHAH to chaos. Jej dawny mentor, gołąb Bu, odrodził się w postaci kurczaka zapalniczki. Aiden, którym Aru się zauroczyła, w dzień jej urodzin ją pocałował - a teraz nie chce nawet na nią spojrzeć. Kara, jej niedawno poznana przyrodnia siostra, zdradziła Pandawów, niszcząc ich niebiańską broń i przechodząc na stronę Śpiącego. Aru wie, że Śpiący podąża wraz z wielką armią do labiryntu, aby zdobyć nektar nieśmiertelności. Drogę do nektaru może wskazać jedynie Kara, duchowa córka boga słońca. Pandawowie muszą do następnej pełni księżyca powstrzymać Śpiącego przed zdobyciem nieskończonej władzy i zniszczeniem Innoświata. Bez swojej niebiańskiej broni nie mogą się jednak przedostać do labiryntu - i jak zwykle muszą wymyślić jakieś inne, sprytne rozwiązanie... Spotkają się ze starymi znajomymi, poznają nowych sojuszników i stawiają czoła straszliwym wyzwaniom, takim jak... występ w talent show! A kiedy nadejdzie czas ostatecznego starcia, trzeba będzie zdecydować, kto zasługuje na nieśmiertelność. Odpowiedź, której nikt by się nie spodziewał, przyjdzie z najmniej prawdopodobnej strony... W tym ekscytującym zakończeniu szalonego pasma przygód, które rozpoczęło się od zwykłego zapalenia lampy, czeka na czytelnika mnóstwo zwrotów akcji i mocnych emocji.
