What starts out as a field trip into the forest, soon turns into something nefarious for Maithili, Minotaur and their friends. Overjoyed, underprepared and blissfully unaware, one wrong turn is about to send them spiraling into the depths of their worst fears.

Sink into the second instalment of Maithili and the Minotaur, set in an outlandish world where nothing is as it seems.

Here's a wholesome, heartwarming tale of friendship, love, betrayal and redemption that tenderly evokes the innocence and wonder of childhood.
And oh, there's death too-and monsters, and horror, and darkness, and brain fever, and dystopia. But then, the white vanilla flavours of innocence and wonder wouldn't amount to much without a thick dark topping of these other childish preoccupations poured on top and dripping down the sides, would it? It's a rare series in which one gets to meet cute, likeable bloodsuckers alongside tragically conflicted tarantulas and implacably vengeful sparrows. The Maithili and the Minotaur series is one of them.
So, dive right into the world that the brilliant writer-artist duo of Salamander and Eipe have created-a comforting, familiar world that every Indian child will immediately recognize!
