Six parts to the story

For this graphic novel, we have planned to follow a movie's beat sheet. 150 pages of the comic to follow 150 minutes of a longish movie. Hope this experiment works. We have also broken the story into six chapters, each chapter covering one Indian season of the year. The Indian Seasons or Ritus are: Grishma (summer), Varsha (monsoon/rains), Sharata (autumn), Hemantha (windy), Shishira (winter), and Vasantha (spring.) The story starts in Grishma and ends in Vasantha, spanning a year.

What is Scions of cursed king?

Scions of the Cursed King is the tale of a king cursed by the snake people; every heir to the throne dies before he is crowned. Athmika, his daughter, refuses to blindly accept the curse but fight it, and in the process encounters not the source of the curse but discovers treachery in unlikely quarters. This is the story of Athmika's transformation and how she proves that she is the best of the scions.
