But there is another deadly battle being waged within Mewar itself. who will inherit the throne after the death of the Maharana? The course of history, not just of Mewar but of the whole of India, is about to be changed forever.

I have only one word to describe it. Stunning . It's been a while since I got such a feeling on completing a book! I don't know why I did not read it sooner.
