Rate this book
Fifteen-year-old Adi can "silhouette" into the shape of a twig snake. Believing his life is cursed, and angry with his grandmother for showering all her love on his younger brother, Adi hatches a plan to run away from home. The night before his planned escape, he strays into Wantra, an alternate world where Maruts lived eons ago. Immortal soldiers stationed on Earth by the celestials at the inception of the universe, Maruts are forgotten and powerless in the present-day world. When Adi learns that a Naga Marut is destined to restore the ring of Kundalini and save the world from the dark deity Rahu, he feels torn between duty and desire. Leaving Wantra would also mean that he would never again meet Surp, the beautiful bird-silhouetted Marut. But a face-off with Rahu is fraught with danger and death, and Adi must first conquer his own misgivings. Can an odd and timid Adi prove his grandmother wrong? Can he be the hero everyone is waiting for?

Tara Rewa's enthralling young adult fantasy, "The Legend of Triquetra," masterfully blends mythology, adventure, and self-discovery. The story revolves around Adi, a fifteen-year-old who feels neglected by his grandmother and overshadowed by his younger brother. Adi's life takes a dramatic turn when he stumbles into Wantra, an alternate universe inhabited by immortal Marut warriors. There, he discovers a prophecy naming him the Naga Marut, destined to restore Kundalini's ring and protect the world from the malevolent god Rahu.

Rewa's world-building is both intricate and immersive, seamlessly merging the fantastical elements of Wantra with the real-world setting of Delhi. The incorporation of Hindu mythology adds depth and cultural richness to the narrative, making it uniquely captivating.

Adi's evolution from a timid, insecure teenager to a reluctant hero is one of the novel's standout aspects. His character development is portrayed with sensitivity and realism, making his internal struggles and eventual growth compelling. The supporting characters, especially the enigmatic Surp and Adi's loving yet complex grandmother, enrich the story and play crucial roles in both Adi's journey and the overall plot.

The fast-paced and suspenseful narrative keeps readers engaged from start to finish. The high stakes and the looming threat of Rahu maintain a constant sense of urgency and excitement. Skillful plot twists keep readers guessing and eagerly turning pages to see what happens next.

Stranger Things meets Hindu mythology in the action-packed, coming-of-age tale of a teenager who comes to know he is a Naga Marut, destined to save the world in The Legend of Triquetra by Tara Rewa.

Wantra, the alternate world mirroring our world, is where powerful beings called Maruts lived ages ago. But, after a gruesome incident centuries ago, they are now powerless. Maruts have silhouettes - animal selves in addition to their human form - which give them the power to fend off other evil creatures in Wantra.

Adi, our fifteen-year-old protagonist, unbeknownst to him, is a Naga Marut. Even when he morphs into a boy with a strong physique in Wantra due to his Naga powers, he finds it hard to believe he can do anything extraordinary.

This is because, in the real world, he wears glasses, hearing aids, and special shoes. Further, his only living relative, his grandmother, has showered all her love and affection on Mohan, his younger brother. She also keeps berating Adi for even the smallest of mistakes. Moreover, his frail and bespectacled appearance makes him prone to bullying at school.

Consequently, Adi has low self-esteem, is starving for love, and is also angry most of the time. Rewa beautifully integrates these issues of low self-esteem, bullying, and unrequited crush into the story, thus making it relatable to the target audience.

Once Adi lands in Wantra on page 10 or so, there is no let up in the action and mayhem that ensues until the last page. The author keeps flinging twists after twists, and I had no choice but to be glued to the pages to find out what's more in store for Adi and his friends.

Tara Rewa seamlessly weaves Hindu mythology into a fantasy tale to craft an engaging story. Devas such as Indra, Varun, Agni, Brahma, the Nagas, as well as Rahu and Ketu make an integral part of this story.

The Legend of Triquetra made the kid in me happy because growing up, our gods and the navagrahas (the gods representing the nine planets) were just celestial beings for me, powers to be respected and prayed to. I had never imagined I would be reading stories about them where they are manifested in flesh and blood.

However, I did have my quibbles with the book. A new character was always popping up every few pages, which, after a point, became difficult to keep track of. Also, there was non-stop action all throughout the 400 or so pages, which didn’t give me a chance to take a breath and absorb all the new information that emerged every now and then.

Overall, I enjoyed reading the novel. It is a commendable debut, and I am eager to read the upcoming sequel.

Book – The Legend of Triquetra

Author – Tara Rewa

Book Review – Reading a fantasy book is always fun because it allows one to escape into a different world where imagination overpowers reality. That’s why I picked up The Legend of Triquetra

The story follows Adi, a fifteen-year-old boy and a Naga Marut who hates his Naani and is planning to run away from her. However, many adventures await him in the world of Wantra. He gets to travel to a different world that exists beneath the layers of Delhi, where his adventures begin.

What will he do to return to his normal life? Will he survive the evil forces—Rahu, Ketu, Yechs, and many more—or not?

To find out, pick up the book.

While reading the first 100 pages, I felt lost and doubted I would finish the book. However, it became better once the background was set. The strength of the book lies in its story, as it seems believable and impactful.

The way Rahu and Ketu (two imperative planets in Indian astrology) are used and presented in the story is the icing on the cake. I feel the author could use other planets as well to make the story more intriguing.

The amalgamation of mythology with fantasy is what makes this book a great read.

However, there are a few areas where the author could improve.

The language should be more emotive and descriptive. Sometimes, a paragraph is dedicated to describing something just to start a conversation among characters, which feels forced.

A proper beginning to help readers understand the world the author created, would have doubled the interest for readers.

For a book like this, multiple points of view would have created more drama and suspense. There’s so much Rahu and Ketu could have justified if they had their own voices. At times, important characters disappear, and suddenly they reappear without explanation.

The Legend of Triquetra is a good read, and I’m sure the author will create a bigger and better second part.

Tara Rewa's debut novel, The Legend of Triquetra, offers a compelling blend of Hindu mythology and contemporary fantasy, making it a standout in the young adult genre. The story follows 15-year-old Adi Yoshi, a timid teenager with the ability to "silhouette" into a twig snake. His journey begins when he discovers he's the heir to the Naga clan of Maruts, immortal beings tasked with protecting the Ring of Kundalini. Transported to Wantra, an alternate realm, Adi must confront the dark deity Rahu to prevent a cosmic catastrophe. Rewa's world-building is rich and imaginative, drawing readers into a universe where celestial beings, mythical creatures, and ancient prophecies intertwine seamlessly.

At the heart of the novel is Adi's personal growth. Initially overshadowed by his younger brother and neglected by his grandmother, Adi grapples with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. His transformation from a reluctant hero to a confident leader is both relatable and inspiring, resonating with readers navigating their own challenges. Supporting characters like Surp, the bird-silhouetted Marut, and Anku, with her sharp intellect, add depth and camaraderie to Adi's journey. Their interactions highlight themes of friendship, loyalty, and the importance of self-belief.

While the novel excels in many areas, some readers might find the pacing uneven, particularly in the middle sections where the narrative shifts between various realms and characters. Additionally, the frequent introduction of new characters can be overwhelming. However, these minor drawbacks are overshadowed by the book's strengths. The Legend of Triquetra is a captivating read that not only entertains but also encourages introspection and growth. It's a promising start to what could become a beloved series in the fantasy genre.

1️⃣ When it comes to the vast and complicated world of Indian mythology, this book delivers a great read by weaving a beautiful world of Samsara (the regular ol' human world), Wantra (the supernatural world) & Amravati (the celestial world).

2️⃣ The complicated family dynamics where a parental-figure becomes your No. 1 enemy and you try your very best to outrun them (literally and figuratively) makes up for a lot of inner conflict that moulds the relatable main character. Adi, our hero, thus has a character arc where we see him grow and root for him. He does mind-blowingly stupid mistakes and you want to scream at him at times, but it makes for great twists and turns.

3️⃣ Objects and Gods taken from familiar stories, are given a modern touch. For those who are unfamiliar with Indian mythology may find it a bit difficult to keep up, so I suggest a little bit of googling. (This was me when I started out with Greek & Egyptian mythology of #riordanverse but once you get a basic background, the world-building won't seem as complicated to you.)

4️⃣ Lots of love and respect for animals and nature in the book and how their treatment and suffering is often overlooked for the "human" good.

5️⃣ A little but if budding enemies-to-lovers teen romance is also present.

6️⃣ Nature Vs Nurture becomes the central principal of this book about how one can not run from their natural instincts and how nurture can change someone's fate too.

My only ick would be regarding the titular object which has been given relatively little importance as compared to some other things in the story and I was hoping it would turn out to be something more interesting, but it didn't.

Tara Rewa's spellbinding young adult fantasy "The Legend of Triquetra" is a saga that follows the adventure of Adi. A fifteen-year-old boy who turns sometimes into a twig snake, feeling neglected by his grandma, overshadowed by his younger brother, Adi decides to run away. Across the parallel universe, Wantra, he gets the feeling he is ordained to retrieve the ring of Kundalini to defeat evil god Rahu and save the world. On the way, Adi meets mythical beings, immortal warriors, uphill struggle to prove his self-esteem.
This, hence, becomes an interlacing of mythology, self-discovery, and adventure in this creatively brought-out world of Wantra, steeped with fragments of Hindu mythology. From the heavenly tree of Kalpavriksha to the vampire tree forest, it is Rewa's great detailed world-building which sets this debut novel a class apart. It is so believable with Adi's development of character from a timid boy to a reluctant hero and other well-rounded characters like Surp and Anku.
With its ingenious plot and interesting characters, perfectly balanced between mythology and adventure, this will find itself on any young adult fantasy lover's shelf. There were a few minor ways one could see things that could be improved including Adi's disabilities more in the story, but overall, it's a quite enjoyable and thought-provoking read. In a faultless combination of mythology and adventure, this novel has marked itself as one of the must-reads among young adults.
I will give this book 4.5/5, because the overall plot and engaging characters, with that beautiful mix of mythology and adventure, did really appeal to me.

A compelling young adult fantasy, "Legend of Triquetra" combines adventure, mythology, and self-discovery. Adi, a 15-year-old girl with the extraordinary power to shape-shift into a twig snake, is the focus of the story. Adi devises a plot to flee his home after feeling rejected by his family. His life, however, takes a surprising turn when he enters Wantra, an alternate reality where celestials have been stationing immortal Marut soldiers since the beginning of time.

Adi quickly discovers that he is meant to be the Naga Marut, the one who has to revive Kundalini's ring and deliver the world from the evil Rahu. Adi, torn between his own wishes and his feeling of duty, needs to face his fears and uncertainties in order to accept his heroic position. Hindu mythology and mysticism are deftly woven by the author into an engrossing story that holds the reader's attention. Adi's journey of self-discovery and increasing self-assurance from a strange, shy, and insecure teenager to a confident, self-assured adult is relatable and inspirational. My favourites among the Marut supporting cast include his enigmatic Nani, the stunning bird-silhouetted Surp, who gives the narrative depth and complexity.

It had been a while since I dove into a good fantasy novel, but let me tell you, this one had me hooked from the very first page! The story throws you right into the heart of the action with Adi, a fifteen-year-old on the brink of running away from his grandma. There's this thrilling mystery surrounding him, and the author's writing just pulls you right in, pressing you to find out what's going on.
The deeper I got, the more I couldn't put the book down. Each chapter built the suspense, making me flip through the pages faster to see what happened next. Initially, the story unfolds at a perfect pace, never a dull moment. Around the middle, it did jump around a bit location-wise at first, which took some getting used to, but I soon found myself right at home in this fantastical world.
The author cleverly blends the real city of Delhi with this hidden magical world. Adi, along with all the other characters, really makes the story come alive. I felt so much for Adi as he struggled through all these crazy situations! Some parts even reminded me of Harry Potter, which was awesome.
But my absolute favorites were Surp and Anku – those two characters were fantastic! The story is a rollercoaster ride of twists, turns, and surprises you'd never see coming. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, desperate to know what's next.
And let's not forget the cover! It's absolutely beautiful and perfectly captures the essence of the story.
Honestly, this book is a win-win for anyone looking for a good fantasy adventure or a thrilling mystery.

I went into The Legend of Triquetra without expecting much, mythological fiction isn’t usually my thing. But this book had me hooked right from the start, and by the end, I couldn’t believe how deeply I’d been pulled in! Reading it took me back to my childhood, when I’d get lost in the Harry Potter books, totally absorbed in a world that felt boundless. 🌌✨

The main character, Adi’s inner struggle, really drew me in once he learned he might be the Naga Marut destined to save the world. He’s suddenly torn between the responsibility of confronting Rahu, a powerful dark deity 🖤, and the pull to escape with Surp, a Marut who can transform into a bird 🕊️. Their connection, filled with tension and loyalty, makes Adi’s dilemma even more powerful and real. His choice isn’t easy, and it makes him so much more relatable.

The author’s writing transported me to Wantra with such vivid imagery that I could almost feel the eerie chill of the dark forests and the lingering power of the Maruts in the air 🌫️🌳. It’s rare for a book to come alive like this, making every twist and turn matter. This journey with Adi was more than just an adventure; it was a reminder of bravery, vulnerability, and growth.

If not for the giveaway, I would’ve missed out on this absolute gem! _The Legend of Triquetra_ is an epic tale of courage and self-discovery, showing us that even the most unlikely of us can become heroes. I’m so grateful to the author for this incredible journey! 📖💖

‘The Legend of Triquetra’, is both well-written and well-developed with mythic and adventure themes and focuses on the protagonist’s character development.
As a main character, Adi is quite realistic and believable as a character who evolves from a shy and insecure youth in to possibly being a hero. His inner conflict and fear of rejection, as well as his desire for affection are the forces behind the story’s development.
Marut in the form of a bird-silhouette brings a twist to the tale of Adi.

To a great extent, the narrative of Adi itself revolves around the themes of individuation and maturation. The focus of the story is how he tried to fit in the normal society despite being endowed with special powers.

An ever-present theme is the conflict between the obligations in one’s position and personal wishes. This conflict is exemplified by the fact that while Adi initially wanted to flee from Rahu, he instead decides to fight him.

The speed of the plot is logical and does not allow for too much slow motion while at the same time, it is not excessively fast to overlook the character’s growth and thoughts.

The novel can be considered quite heartfelt as it depicts the accomplishments and hardships of teenage years in a rather magical manner. Adi’s story can be seen as a struggle, where there are moments of uncertainty, anxiety, and then, finally, hope and acceptance.

Tara Rewa's The Legend of Triquetra is an exciting and skillfully written fantasy book. Adi is a realistic character at the center of the narrative. Indian mythology was expertly included by the author. Adi, a lonely fifteen-year-old who intends to flee his home, is the main character of the narrative. See the excitement of exploration, the burden of responsibility, and the strength of redemption through Adi's eyes. The plot develops precisely, striking a balance between action, suspense, and emotional depth, and the ensemble is incredibly diverse. The pacing is masterfully constructed, accelerating at a dizzying rate before reducing to highlight the intricacy of each character's journey.


One of the novel's most notable features is Adi's transformation from a shy, insecure adolescent to a reluctant hero. His internal conflicts and eventual transformation are captivating because of the sensitive and realistic portrayal of his character development. Adi's journey and the drama as a whole are greatly aided by the supporting cast, particularly the mysterious Surp and Adi's devoted yet nuanced grandma. Readers are captivated by the story's rapid pacing and tension throughout. There is always a sense of urgency and excitement because of the huge stakes and the impending threat of Rahu.

Such a tale is very less known. But if you are a fan of mythological fiction or something magical, then this is one of the pieces one must read. When we get some power, we are ecstatic. Isn’t it quite obvious? Trust me, if I were in the protagonist’s place, then I would have sure enjoyed such a thing. But our protagonist, the fifteen-year-old Adi, finds it a bane, for he can turn himself into the hap of a twig snake.
Before readers know the entire plot and the target that Adi is setting for himself, I would like to demonstrate Chapter One of the book.

The conversations and the kind of background that this chapter provides are some of my favorites. I can relate the activities very well to my own life when I compare them with my Naani, my grandmother. Naani calls Adi’s ability to turn himself into something that no one can as something weak. That is caling his animal side to be weak, warning him to be cautious in manners that are slightly dangerous for others. After a paragraph, we get to know Adi is not fond of his village, and he has been warned by his Naani from time to time not to visit it.

Suspense keeps hanging around the readers' minds as soon as they will be plunged into the serpent symbol revelation that Adi’s mother has passed onto him embossed on a material. The satchel is that material with a flap carrying the symbol of Adi’s family's rich history.

I don't usually read fantasy, but this book kept me hooked from chapter one. The story is about Adi, a young boy with the ability to travel between different worlds. His journey takes him to places filled with amazing creatures and ancient secrets.

"..Adi felt a mix of fear and excitement as he stepped into the new world. He wondered if he would ever find his way back home, but the thrill of adventure kept him moving forward." Through his journey, he learned the true meaning of courage and friendship. He discovered that bravery wasn't the absence of fear, but the strength to move forward despite it.

The book mixes Indian mythology with an exciting adventure, making it easy to follow and enjoy. Adi's character is relatable, and his experiences are both exciting and heartwarming. I often wondered what it would be like to step into another world, just like Adi. His journey reminded me that sometimes, we need to embrace the unknown to discover our true potential.

Even if you're not a fan of fantasy, this book is a great introduction to the genre. It sparks the imagination and brings Indian folklore to life in a simple, engaging way.

Adi went to deliver something in place of his friend, and during the delivery, an accident happened. He traveled to 'Wantra', an alternate world where Maruts lived many years ago. Adi can transform into a twig snake. He didn't understand the reason for his transformation or what power his transformation held. He hated his transformation, as well as his Nani and brother, because he didn't like how his Nani treated him, and his brother was always roaming around him. He wanted to leave both of them and go to Goa to visit his aunt, but his plan to leave for Goa didn't succeed, and instead of Goa, he ended up in 'Wantra'. There, he learned many truths about his power, his Nani, and also the truth about the Maruts.

Reading this book was an amazing experience. The book is a little bit lengthy for me, but the story was fast-paced. Seeing Indian mythology characters retold with a different story than the ones we heard in childhood was a superb experience. I enjoyed how Adi finds his real self, recognizes his power, helps other people, and stands against Rahu and Ketu. I really love this book, and the plot twist was amazing.

The legend of Triquetra is a mixed genre book. It has elements of adventure, suspense, mythology,fantasy etc. For someone who is like me trying out this genre this can be a good read as it is not complicated or too fast that you can easily get out of zone neither it is slow as you can loose your interest easily but it maintains a perfect rhythm.
The world building and character development are amazing in this story. A fifteen year old boy Adi who is not given the wanted attention, love and care by his grandmother is the main character. He is like most kids is timorous but as the story unravels he becomes a courageous boy. As he enters a different world (an unknown power that he had helped him in this) he understands about his unknown powers/qualities.
The twists and turns helps a reader to be hooked in this story and if you get stuck understanding about mythology characters or the other world or anything it would be better to do some research because it will help you in building your interest. You will find so many Indian mythology characters that you will be fascinated by it.

With themes of myth and adventure, "The Legend of Triquetra" is a well-written and well-developed work that emphasizes the character development of the protagonist. Adi is a realistic and convincing main character who transforms from a timid and insecure youngster to someone who might end up becoming a hero. The forces driving the plot are his internal turmoil, his fear of rejection, and his need for affection. Unbeknownst to him, our fifteen-year-old protagonist, Adi, is a Naga Marut. In Wantra, he finds it difficult to think he can accomplish anything spectacular, even when his Naga talents transform him into a youth with a powerful physique.

Tara Rewa's most recent book, The Legend of Triquetra, makes clear that she is among the few writers who have taken up this issue. Tara's writing style demonstrates her skill as a writer. Although her novel is aimed at young adults, it is interesting to readers of all ages. Her choice of straightforward language makes the book much easier to read.

In this fantastical tale, Adi, a neglected fifteen-year-old, plans to run away from home but stumbles into Wantra, a hidden world beneath Delhi. Here, he encounters the Maruts, forgotten immortal soldiers, and learns of a prophecy tying him to a Naga Marut destined to save the world from Rahu. This sets Adi on a journey of self-discovery and duty, where he must navigate challenges and conflicts to fulfill his destiny.
The story's world-building, blending Delhi with the magical realm of the Maruts, is beautifully done. Additionally, the plot is thrilling, keeping readers hooked with its well-paced narrative.
The book's language is clear and accessible, ensuring that readers of all levels can easily understand and engage with the story.
As my first foray into this genre from an Indian author, I must say that the author has done a commendable job.
Whether you're a fan of fantasy adventures or simply seeking an enthralling story to lose yourself in, "Adi's Journey" is a must-read.

A neglected fifteen-year-old named Adi makes preparations to flee his parents in this fanciful story, but instead he wanders into Wantra, a secret kingdom beneath Delhi. He meets the Maruts, who are eternal soldiers who have been forgotten, and discovers a prophecy that links him to a Naga Marut who will protect the planet from Rahu. In order to realize his destiny, Adi must overcome obstacles and difficulties on his path of self-discovery and duty. The world-building of the novel, which combines Delhi with the enchanted world of the Maruts, is exquisite. The tale is also exciting, drawing readers in with its steady flow of story.

The pacing is excellent, and the plot is really captivating. Like any good hero, Adi struggles and fails all the time. The plot is intriguing because of this. Although it might occasionally become overwhelming, there are a ton of supporting characters.

With Adi, a fifteen-year-old on the edge of fleeing from his grandmother, the story thrusts you squarely into the action. The author's language and the exciting mystery that envelops him draw you in and make you want to know what's happening. I had to turn the pages more quickly to find out what would happen next because each chapter kept the tension high. At first, the plot develops at the ideal tempo.


It's fascinating to look out Adi change from a timid, insecure teenager to a reluctant hero. The sympathetic and genuine depiction of his inner struggles and eventual development makes his character journey one of the novel's highlights.

Adi's development and the plot's advancement are greatly aided by the supporting cast, especially the enigmatic Surp and Adi's compassionate yet complex grandmother. The deft use of plot twists and turns keeps readers guessing about what will happen next.

Tara Rewa's "The Legend of Triquetra" is one such work. The way the author skillfully incorporated ideas from Indian mythology and the Vedas into the narrative captivated me. such as the symbols of Krodha, Kalakar, and Buddha, as well as Surp, Kalpavirksha, and Rahu. Dev Vidhata as well. Relationships, fantasy, mythology, and mysticism were all skillfully combined in this work. The story's placement of themes of friendship, family dynamics, self-discovery, and self-doubt was excellent.

Adi's destiny—becoming the victor over an escalating darkness—emerges as he struggles with self-doubt and a desire for normalcy. Get ready to be engrossed in an exciting story that delves into themes of inner power and self-discovery, all set against the backdrop of fascinating mythology. Even though the rhythm may change a little, Rewa's skillful narrative keeps you interested and excited to watch Adi take on the task.

As we already know this book follows Adi, the main protagonist of this book who believes his life is cursed. As you start the book, it throws you into a quick action where everything is fine until Adi accidentally enters wantra, an alternative universe populated by immortal Marut warriors. With this unanticipated encounter, he finds a prophecy that describes him as a Naga Marut, chosen to revive Kundalini's ring and safeguard the world from Rahu, the evil god.
And let me tell you from that page to every chapter, the book was filled with adventure and suspense, making me flip the pages fast.
I feel proud to say it was inspired by Indian mythology, one of the quick fantasy reads I had, from the world building to real life themes, self discovery and family drama everything is perfectly written.
I would recommend this to everyone who wants an adventurous fantasy read!💌

The Legend of Triquetra by Tara Rewa is a well-written and adventurous fantasy novel. The story revolves around Adi, a realistic character. The author masterfully blended Indian mythology. The story revolves around Adi, a neglected fifteen-year-old who plans to runaway from his home. But he enters Wantra, an alternative world mirroring our world, where the immortal Maruts lived eons ago. Maruts are forgotten and powerless in the present world. I adored Surp, the beautiful bird-silhoutted marut.

Reading " The Legend of Triquetra " was an mind-blowing experience. It delves into the life of a teenage boy who has his own insecurities that leads him to somewhere that ne never expected . Being a teenager is not at easy. It comes with lot of insecurities and self doubts. I belive these are some years in everyone's life that one should be more focused and attentive towards their thoughts . Same happens with Adi , his thoughts overpowers him and he left him home where this life takes a complete 180° turn and he encounters a magical land which needs to be saved.

The story follows and we learn about Naga Marut , the mythological facts , the bond he created there , the way Adi becomes a mature leader and fights his insecurities was super adventurous.
Overall , It was an enjoyable read for me.
