The Palace of Illusions

The story of the Mahabharata, through the eyes of the woman who lived it all.

Divakaruni reimagines the epic Indian tale of the Mahabharata from the perspective of Draupadi, the fiery, intelligent queen whose choices shape the destiny of empires. Through Draupadi’s eyes, the reader experiences love, betrayal, ambition, and the intricate politics of a world dominated by men. The novel blends historical richness, emotional depth, and lyrical storytelling, giving a voice to a woman often silenced in traditional retellings.

With vivid imagery, intense drama, and a hauntingly beautiful narrative, The Palace of Illusions immerses readers in a world of divine intervention, human frailty, and the timeless complexities of power and desire. It is a story of courage, self-discovery, and the personal cost of destiny, told with poetic elegance and emotional resonance.

Epic, immersive, and profoundly moving, The Palace of Illusions offers a fresh perspective on an ancient tale, reminding us that history, myth, and legend are not just stories, they are the echoes of human experience.
