A Drop of Venom<\/a> by Sajni Patel<\/h3>\n
\n

If you\u2019re looking for a feminist retelling of Medusa steeped in Indian mythology, welcome to A Drop of Venom<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Manisha has been running from monsters her whole life. She is part of the naga, a regularly-targeted group by the kingdom. She might be a priestess of the floating temples now, but that doesn\u2019t keep the monsters at bay.<\/p>\n

Pratyush, on the other hand, is a monster slayer. He\u2019s the King\u2019s prized possession. Every time Pratyush slays a monster, he gets another year added to his life. It should be a sweet gig, but Pratyush is so sick of being directed by the King. <\/p>\n

When Manisha and Pratyush meet, the two see that it is possible to help one another chart a whole new course. Unfortunately, that won\u2019t be easy\u2014nor will it happen in any immediate future. Manish is sexually assaulted by a visitor and falls into a pit of vipers, while Pratyush is sent on yet another dangerous mission from the King. It\u2019s one that, if Pratyush is successful, will grant him his freedom but it\u2019s also as likely to kill him in the process.<\/p>\n

Manisha isn\u2019t dead though. She rises from the pit stronger than ever. As it turns out, she is the monster whom Pratyush has been sent to take down. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
