In early 1856, the East India Company decided to submit Lucknow, the 'city of gold and silver', to British tutelage. This forced annexation provokes an insurrection led by the begum Hazrat Mahal, fourth wife of the king. Alongside her faithful rajah Jai Lal and the support of the sepoys, Hazrat Mahal becomes the soul of the resistance against the invader. This epic novel narrates the passion between the orphan turned queen and her loyal general, in a dazzling historical fresco.
