About the Author

Kavita Kane is a bestselling Indian author celebrated for pioneering a genre that brings mythological women to the forefront of storytelling. She made her literary debut with Karna’s Wife: The Outcast’s Queen, which gave voice to Uruvi, a relatively unknown character from the Mahabharata. Since then, she has written several acclaimed novels, including Sita’s Sister, Menaka’s Choice, and The Fisher Queen’s Dynasty, each of which reimagines Indian epics from the perspectives of strong, complex women. Kane’s writing combines meticulous research with empathetic storytelling, making mythology accessible while offering fresh feminist insights. Before becoming a full-time author, she worked as a journalist, which honed her skill of blending fact with narrative depth. By focusing on marginalized voices in epics, she reshapes how readers perceive mythology, encouraging them to question patriarchal narratives. Kavita Kane’s works have garnered critical acclaim and a devoted readership, positioning her as one of India’s most influential mythological fiction writers of recent times.
