Mandanna, Sangu: A War of Swallowed Stars

Sangu Mandanna was four years old when an elephant chased her down a forest road and she decided to write her first story about it. Seventeen years and many, many manuscripts later, she signed her first book deal. She is the author of the Celestial trilogy, which draws on the Mahabharata and Indian mythology. Sangu now lives in Norwich, a city in the east of England, with her husband and kids.
