Aru Shah and the Nectar of Immortality is the fifth and final book in the Pandava Quintet by Roshani Chokshi under the Rick Riordan Presents imprint.

Synopsis[]

The Pandavas only have until the next full moon to stop the Sleeper from gaining access to the nectar of immortality, which will grant him infinite power. But how can Aru, Mini, and Brynne hope to defeat him without their celestial weapons? The Sleeper and his army are already plundering the labyrinth, and the sisters can't even enter. Their quest to get in will have them calling on old friends, meeting new allies, and facing fearsome trials, like...performing in a rock concert? When the moment of confrontation finally arrives, it's up to Aru to decide who deserves immortality, the devas or the asuras. The most unexpected answer will come from the most unexpected place. More surprises and delights, gods and demons, and laughs and tears await in this immensely satisfying conclusion to the wild ride that began with the lighting of a lamp.

Plot[]

Kara enters the labyrinth that contains the nectar of immortality. She begins to feel guilty about what she is about to do, remembering how she betrayed her soul sisters. The Sleeper congratulates Kara, praising her for making the right decisions when being faced with difficult choices, and reminding her that she will have a family like he promised. Kara tries to shove away her doubt and the image of a girl saying Sleeper is lying to her. She then steps into the dark of the cave containing the nectar of immortality.

Meanwhile, Aru Shah, Mini Kapoor-Mercado-Lopez, Brynne Rao, and Krithika P. Shah travel to Lullwater Park in Atlanta, where the hiding spot of the labyrinth holding the nectar of immortality is supposed to be located. They realize that the park is surrounded by an energy field that cannot be penetrated without celestial weapons, which the girls no longer possess. The only thing the girls have that could help them is an enchanted coin from Agni, the god of fire, but they are unable to figure out how to contact Agni with it. Aru decides that the only way to get into the Otherworld without anyone bothering them is by using a prophecy. Brynne makes a remark about how easy prophecies are to acquire, and Aru replies with, "I never said it had to be a real prophecy."

Aru, Mini, and Brynne head to Mini's house to discuss what to do next. They are joined by Nikita and Sheela, who visit them via portal. Aru explains their situation to them, and Sheela, being a clairvoyant, says that she may be able to fake a prophecy to buy the older Pandavas time. Brynne mentions not being able to use Agni's coin properly, and Sheela suggests setting it on fire using Boo. Nikita conjures up some fireproof gloves so that Aru can hold BB without getting burned, and he belches out flames the size of a dinner plate. At first nothing happens, but then Aru notices a red wedding invitation on the kitchen counter. The Agni coin begins to hum, and an automated voice comes out of it, instructing the Pandavas to check their connection to a sacred flame, then trying contacting Agni at a later time. The Pandavas realize that they need to attend the wedding listed on the invitation, which will have a sacred fire for the bride and groom that they can use to contact Agni. Nikita says that the older girls will need a new wardrobe if they are to attend.
