  After Kurukshetra (Unabridged)

  Mahashweta Devi

  As the warriors are cremated, the skies above Kurukshetra are dark with circling birds of prey. Reek of rotting flesh. Row upon row of oil-soaked wood pyres piled high with decomposing bodies. They are set alight. The pyres burn for days. With the ancient epic Mahabharata as her source, and the battle of Kurukshetra as a central motif, Mahasweta Devi weaves three stories in which we visit unexpected alleys and by-lanes of the traditional epic saga, and look at events from the eyes of women-marginalized, dispossessed, dalit. Their eyes condemn the wanton waste and inhumanity of war. This Kurukshetra is not the legendary Dharmayuddha of the popular imagination but rather a cold-blooded power game sacrificing countless human lives.

  The carnival games are rigged, the cotton candy is stale, and the prizes the carnies’ are interested in aren’t behind the counter—they’re in the crowd. 
  With renovations underway at their historic mansion, Dane Staley and his lovers, succubus Maeve, dryad Cassie, and otter-kin Talise, are establishing roots and building something unprecedented: a true supernatural pride with its own structure, and sacred space. For the first time, their unconventional family feels stable, despite the chaos of construction and their upcoming wedding plans. 
  Tuesday Golding has always kept one foot in their world and one foot out, insisting she’s not just another “one of Dane’s women.” But when her paladin father comes to town and then vanishes while investigating a traveling carnival, she has nowhere else to turn. The carnival’s proprietors harbor a dark secret behind their worn tents and rusted attractions. 
  While trying to help their stubborn goth witch locate her father, the unthinkable happens, triggering a demon’s fury that even Maeve fears. His demonic rampage leaves a trail of supernatural carnage that may forever alter how others see him… and how he sees himself. Meanwhile, as Tuesday witnesses the devastating potential of what true belonging means, her carefully maintained independence begins to crumble. 
  Some transformations are physical. Others change the very nature of family. 
  Woefully Willful Witch is the fifth spicy adventure in the Spicy Adventures Supernatural Series It features supernatural multi-partner relationships, character progression, a hidden world of magical beings, and the same level of spiciness readers have come to expect. It is for adult readers only! This is obviously pure fantasy, so expect unrealistic over-the-top steamy situations, wish fulfillment, sophomoric humor, strong language, and a heaping helping of naughty bits.
