Arrow of Fortune (Collector's Edition)

Arrow of Fortune: The 1898 Edition painstakingly replicates the look and feel of books from the late 19th century with a green cloth binding, gold and black foil, patterned endpapers, deckled page edges, ribbon bookmark, sewn binding, and a vintage-inspired interior layout with four exclusive illustrations. The collector's edition is also signed by the author. 

With book three, our cast of adventure nerds are off to India in a race to save the most powerful artifact of the Ramayana from falling to the hands of a new sort of demon. As Ellie and Adam explore the shape of their complicated new relationship, Neil wrangles with a magical sword he has no idea how to use and Constance discovers the joy of wearing trousers—along with a deeper interest in a certain stuffy tweed-clad archaeologist. 

Together, they must follow the footsteps of an ancient hero from the festivals of Puri to the haunted depths of a legendary forest, where a ruthless colonial administrator seeks to claim a holy power for queen and empire. 

We’ll meet a dashing maharaja. Explore eleventh-century municipal water systems. Befriend revolutionaries. Expect Bollywood dance moves, surprise tigers, Mauryan stone polishing techniques, and a modest little experiment in kissing. 

(All right… perhaps it isn’t entirely modest.)
