The union of these two powerful kingdoms helped Harsha extend his influence and jurisdiction over other states in north India.

This vividly-imagined novel starts in the happy environs of the palace of Thanesar, where Harsha and his siblings are growing up. But soon after his sister Rajyasri's wedding, things start to go wrong. And Rajyasri wonders, is he really the loving brother he seems to be, or is he a calculating man who will stop at nothing to gain the throne, even murder?

Una poderosa y atractiva historia que mezcla amor y suspense. «-¿Me dedica este baile, señorita? -dijo poniéndose de rodillas frente al sofá y tendiéndolo la mano. Mat volvió la cabeza a ambos lados. -¿Y si entra algún huésped? -susurró sonrojada por la vergüenza. -Se morirá de envidia. Ni en sus mejores sueños podría bailar con una chica tan guapa... Mat se rindió ante su seductora sonrisa y le tendió la mano reticente. Él tiró de ella para que se levantara. -Esta es una canción sobre un mal día -le susurró al oído atrayéndola hacia él-. Pero nosotros vamos a darle la vuelta. Cierra los ojos, olvídate de todo y baila.» Mat está empezando su primer curso en la universidad cuando ve cómo su vida se derrumba por un trágico accidente.
