Description

Set in eighteenth century Punjab, amidst the backdrop of the turmoil of the terminal years of Aurangzeb's reign, this book recreates Banda Singh Bhadur's fierce and triumphant war of liberation.

Woven into this quagmire of wear, is a story of young and passionate love, which battled against the social taboos and religious bigotry of the time.

A story that tugs at your heart strings, makes your sense tingle with conflicting emotions and flush at the enormity of atrocities heaped upon the innocent, this historical romance lays bare how humans, flushed with the arrogance of power, justify their every action in the name of divine right.
