Bookroo's summary

Aru Shah faces a dire challenge when she's accused of stealing the god of love's bow, which turns people into zombies. With the Otherworld in chaos, Aru, her soul-sister Mini, the strong Brynne, and secretive Aiden must retrieve the bow before the next full moon. Their quest leads them through a perilous serpent realm, battling demons and uncovering unexpected truths about their enemy. Can Aru prove her innocence and save the Otherworld from disaster?

From the publisher

Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents best-selling author Roshani Chokshi and her sequel to Aru Shah and the End of Time. Aru is only just getting the hang of this whole Pandava thing when the Otherworld goes into full panic mode. The god of love’s bow and arrow have gone missing, and the thief isn’t playing Cupid. Instead, they’re turning people into heartless fighting-machine zombies. If that weren’t bad enough, somehow Aru gets framed as the thief. If she doesn’t find the arrow by the next full moon, she’ll be kicked out of the Otherworld. For good. But, for better or worse, she won’t be going it alone. Along with her soul-sister, Mini, Aru will team up with Brynne, an ultra-strong girl who knows more than she lets on, and Aiden, the boy who lives across the street and is also hiding plenty of secrets. Together they’ll battle demons, travel through a glittering and dangerous serpent realm, and discover that their enemy isn’t at all who they expected.
