Urnabhih by Sumedha V Ojha is an evocative Mauryan tale about Misrakesi, a dancer and spy. I designed and illustrated the cover with plot elements framing the protagonist. Misrakesi is drawn with an air of mystery, hinting her double life as a dancer and spy, along with the majestic peacock, symbolic of the Mauryan kingdom where the state politics begins to lead her life into unexpected directions.
