Produktbeschreibung
Before Draupadi, there was Hidimbi--the first and eldest Pandava daughter-in-law, a title history denied her. Across the centuries, she has remained the forgotten wife, the forgotten queen, the forgotten woman of the Mahabharata. Born a demoness but queen by right, Hidimbi stands in the shadows of India's greatest epic. She saved Bhima, bore his son, and remained loyal to the family who killed her brother. And when the call of war came, she made the ultimate sacrifice--sending her only child, Ghatotkacha, to die for a cause that never truly accepted her. Why was her story erased? Was it because she was a rakshasi--or because the heroes of the epic could do no wrong? In this powerful reimagining, Hidimbi finally finds her voice--a story of love and betrayal, courage and sacrifice, reclaiming the place of a woman history chose to forget.
