Description:

What begins as a thrilling nighttime school field trip soon spirals into something far more sinister. Maithili, her loyal friend the Minotaur, and the rest of their class venture to the edge of the forbidden forest, racing to gather the most eesals and win a coveted prize. Overjoyed, underprepared, and blissfully unaware of the danger, they take one wrong turn — and find themselves tumbling into the depths of their own worst fears. Set in the same outlandish world where nothing is quite as it seems, this second instalment weaves friendship, courage, and teamwork through a story laced with drama, eerie creatures, and flashes of genuine darkness. C.G. Salamander's layered, witty writing pairs beautifully with Rajiv Eipe's atmospheric illustrations, delivering an Indian graphic novel that is whimsical and heartwarming yet refreshingly unafraid of the shadows.
