THE WATER WIVES

Once you’re married, you can never be unmarried: In rural Telangana, India, this isn’t just a saying—it’s the hard truth. 

16-year-old Kaivalya lives and breathes medicine. She will be a doctor, or she’ll die trying. To her exasperation, she is also bestowed with the kind of looks that attract the sort of attention she doesn’t need.

Kaivalya’s lawyer mother is a passionate women’s rights activist. She also advocates against child marriages. Which means she’s made her share of enemies over the years.

Four hundred kilometers away, Gangadhar has nursed a vengeance against the lady lawyer for far too long—and the time to make her pay is NOW. 

Closer to home, Kaivalya’s grandfather has accrued debts from gambling, and the loan sharks are circling. His efforts to extricate himself from his troubles have drawn the attention of the sand mafia—and his strikingly pretty granddaughter is now in their crosshairs. 

The grandfather’s acts of desperation will set all of their lives on a collision course. And when they do collide, their lives will be thrown offtrack in ways none of them could have foreseen.
