Hi everyone! Are you ready to see our next tour sign-ups?

We are so excited to be able to bring you a Creative Book Tour for Divining the Leaves, written by Shveta Thakrar. Out on 4th March from HarperCollins! The tour will run from 4th to 10th March 2025 and we'd love your help to promote this book.

Divining the Leaves is a beautifully imagined contemporary fantasy about two teens, one a believer of magic who yearns to belong while the other, a skeptic searching for an escape. Soon, both find themselves embroiled in a twisty world of court intrigue when they venture into a forest ruled by yakshas, mysterious woodland spirits drawn from Hindu and Buddhist folklore.

This tour is open internationally to book influencers who can share their thoughts on the book in an Instagram feed post and share a creative reel, a TikTok, or a blog post. If selected, you’ll receive a confirmation email from us within a week.

Digital copies will be available for all tour hosts while physical copies will only be available for US & CAN-based hosts.

Here's the cover:

Plant-loving Ridhi Kapadia and popular Nilesh Batra were friends once.

Now, seventeen and alone, Ridhi blends natural perfumes, wears flower crowns, and wanders her local woods, listening for the leafy whispers of her beloved trees. Pleading for the yakshas to admit her into their enchanted forest kingdom, where she knows she truly belongs.

After learning his parents’ perfect marriage is a sham and getting suspended from school, a heartsick Nilesh lands at Ridhi’s doorstep—the last thing either of them wants. So when a pretty yakshini offers him the distraction of magic, the same magic he mocked Ridhi for believing in, he jumps at it.

Furious, Ridhi strikes a bargain with a noblewoman of the yaksha court. In exchange for helping restore her reputation, Lady Sulochana will turn Ridhi into the yakshini she yearns to be—and teach her to divine the trees’ murmurs.

But when Nilesh ends up trapped in the yakshas’ realm, Ridhi realizes the leaves might be telling a disturbing story about the forest her heart is rooted in—one that, even if the two of them band together, threatens to shred the future like so many thorns.
