Atlanta Author Brings Hindu Mythology To Young Adults With ‘Aru Shah’ Series

When Rick Riordan created his best-selling series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” the author ignited a passion for Greek mythology in young adult readers the world over.

Now, Riordan has turned his eye outward with his very own publishing imprint designed to elevate the diversity of world mythologies. And the very first author he’s turned to in this ambitious new project is Atlanta’s own Roshani Chokshi.

She’s already a best-selling author for middle-grade readers, and the first installment of her new “Aru Shah” series was just published.

On “City Lights,” Chokshi spoke about how “Aru Shah and the End of Time” is inspired by the stories of Hindu mythology she heard growing up.

“Aru Shah and the End of Time” is available now wherever books are sold.
