An enchanting seventeenth-century epic of grand passion and adventure, this debut novel tells the captivating story of one of India's most legendary and controversial empresses — a woman whose brilliance and determination trumped myriad obstacles, and whose love shaped the course of the Mughal empire. She is called Mehrunnisa, the Sun of Women, born in 1577 into a family fleeing persecution in Persia. Her story explores her rise from the fringes of Emperor Akbar's court, her childhood encounters with Prince Salim, and her journey through love, power, and political intrigue. The novel blends historical reality with rich storytelling to depict her bold life behind the veil and her quest for love and influence.
