Perth's Parvati

di Chinmoy Mukherjee (Autore)

Chinmoy Mukherjee, 2025

Perth's Parvati follows the journey of Parvati "Paro" Sharma, a struggling sculptor in Fremantle, whose art unexpectedly becomes a conduit for her divine shakti, or inner power. Named after the Hindu goddess of creation, Paro discovers that her sculptures—crafted from natural and recycled materials—come alive, manifesting her emotions and influencing the city of Perth. Her benevolent creations, like a stone Nandi bull and copper galahs, bring subtle miracles of calm and restoration to the urban landscape, reflecting her love and serenity. However, when frustration and rage fuel her work, she unwittingly births Asura, a destructive entity of twisted metal and scorched wood that unleashes chaos, plunging the city into fear and disruption. As Paro grapples with her awakening abilities, she forms an unlikely alliance with Detective Isabella "Izzy" Rossi, a pragmatic investigator drawn into the supernatural events, and Arvind Singh, a wise bookseller versed in ancient mythology. Through introspection and guidance, Paro learns that true power lies in balancing creation and destruction, embracing her inner shadows rather than suppressing them. The story escalates when Asura's rampage threatens the city's heart, forcing Paro to confront her creation in a transformative battle at Elizabeth Quay, where she reshapes rage into guardianship. In the aftermath, Paro faces a new insidious threat: Alistair Finch, a void-like billionaire who drains Perth's creative vitality using ancient artifacts. With her allies, she defeats this predator, but the ordeal leaves her magical network frayed, requiring her to become a healer for her living creations. Ultimately, Paro evolves from a isolated artist into the city's guardian, seeding small, purposeful works throughout Perth to nurture its soul, embodying the mythic essence of her name in a modern, sun-drenched world.
