The Mughal Empire is facing internal struggles after the death of Mumtaz Mahal. Seventeen-year-old Jahanara becomes the most important woman in the imperial zenana and must balance her responsibilities to her father, Emperor Shah Jahan, with the ambitions and rivalries of her brothers.
Indu Sundaresan is an Indian-born author known for historical fiction set in the Mughal period. She is the author of The Twentieth Wife, The Feast of Roses and Shadow Princess. Her first novel, The Twentieth Wife, won the 2003 Washington State Book Award.
After Mumtaz Mahal's death, Emperor Shah Jahan becomes increasingly withdrawn while his sons compete for influence and succession. Jahanara, his favourite daughter, is given a powerful position within the imperial household at just seventeen. Surrounded by political intrigue and family conflict, she must sacrifice many of her personal desires while trying to protect her family and navigate the complex world of the Mughal court.
