The Third Eye

For a year, Tara and her brother Suraj have lived with loss, fear, and a stepmother who makes every day miserable. Then the villagers begin disappearing—only to return changed in terrifying ways.

When a mysterious healer named Zarku arrives with a powerful third eye, the whole village falls under his spell.

Everyone except Tara.

To save her family and stop Zarku's growing power, Tara must enter a dark forest, face monsters and riddles, and seek help from forces far more dangerous than she ever imagined.

Perfect for readers who love middle grade fantasy, Indian mythology, eerie suspense, and brave heroines.
