What is A sliver of moon and a shard of truth about?

Prince Veera and his best friend, Suku, travel to Peetalpur for a summer festival filled with tricky challenges.

Back at the palace, Raja Apoorva sets them a series of clever puzzles, from identifying a beard-pulling intruder to settling a dispute over a fig tree. Using quick thinking, friendship and a sharp sense of justice, the boys solve mysteries involving a holy man, an astronomer and more.
