With a vibrant supporting cast, a world steeped in Bengali folk stories, and an action-packed story line, this is a series starter that rivals Rick Riordan’s The Lightning Thief(2005). The Serpent's Secret by Sayantani DasGupta 4,985 ratings, 3.90 average rating, 893 reviews Open Preview The Serpent's Secret Quotes Showing 1-13 of 13 As weird as they were, they were my weirdos, and nothing in the universe could ever be right without them. Inspired by Bengali folktales, this is an exciting, fantastical debut grounded by Kiran’s wry, clever voice and her experiences as a child of immigrants. To rescue her parents, Kiran will have to embrace her true heritage-and learn a thing or two about demon slaying along the way. She’s barely had time to process all this before she’s whisked away on a flying horse by the prince brothers, one handsome and honorable, the other totally obnoxious. Practical Kiran is less than thrilled to discover that not only are her parents not her birth parents, she’s actually an Indian princess from another dimension-and all the fanciful stories her parents tell are true. For the most part, Kiran has a normal life in her New Jersey town, until her twelfth birthday, when her parents are kidnapped by a rakkhosh demon (surprise, they’re real!), and two young warrior princes appear on her doorstep.
Kiranmala’s parents have always been a little weird, with their princess obsession, Indian folktales, and strange rituals.
