Publisher's Synopsis
In the grandeur of the Mughal Empire, power is a double-edged sword-and betrayal is its sharpest form.
Born under prophetic signs and destined for greatness, Prince Khurram (Shahjahan) is the beloved grandchild of Emperor Akbar. But when a rival child, Firdaus, emerges from a forbidden union, the line between fate and treason is irrevocably crossed. Exiled and hidden, Anarkali, the mother of Firdaus, raises her son far from the empire's reach.
Meanwhile Prince Salim, torn between love and loyalty, spirals into rebellion. As the empire hangs on the brink of destruction, Salim's thirst for vengeance sets in motion a chain of events that will forever alter the course of Mughal history.Step into a world where loyalty is fleeting, love is a gamble, and facts are indistinguishable from fiction.
