Set in the opulent 17th century Moghul court with its passions, battles, intrigues, treachery and struggle for domination of the Hindu Rajput, this story is based on one of the greatest love stories ever, that of the Moghul emperor Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz, in whose memory he built the Taj Mahal. The author has also written "The Winds of Sinhala", "The Founts of Sinhala", "The Fires of Sinhala" and "The Last Sinhala Lions".
