An epic family saga of war, love, friendship, and sacrifice in twentieth-century India during its fight against British rule.
It is 1898. India is ruled by the British, and India's women are ruled by British masters as well as Indian men. A desperate young widow is drawn into a terrible deed to save herself from dishonor, but her family will pay dearly for this Faustian bargain.

ABOUT NANDINI
I was born and raised in India, but I’ve called the United States my second continent for the last thirty-five years. As you see, I do not call either place “home,” because it is that question of where “home” is that my writing, dreaming, and searching are all about. Maybe it’s in books and art, though, because wherever I’ve lived, I have generally turned to them for answers to life’s big questions.
