Overview

The Wife of the Village Devadasi Series Book 3 In flood-scarred Kalasharam, the rains have long stopped-but their rot remains. Once a devadasi, a servant of the goddess and the men who claimed her in the goddess's name, Satiamma has abandoned that life for a quiet existence on the village's edge. She works on government ditches, lives off broken rice, and dreams only one thing: that her daughter Parvathi will never be given to the temple as she was. But freedom, even in poverty, comes with a price. The village still calls her a whore. The landlords and temple men still remember her body. When a stranger named Karama begins to follow her-with gentle eyes, dangerous truths, and a trident tattoo-Satiamma's fragile balance of defiance and survival begins to fracture. As hunger, violence, and the ghosts of her past rise again, Satiamma must decide whether to keep running or to stand her ground-to claim the dignity no god or man ever granted her. In a land where every man claimed her, Satiamma chose to belong only to herself. The Wife of the Village is a searing story of motherhood, resistance, and the quiet rebellions of women erased by devotion and poverty.
