There seems to be a natural desire to present actual facts in a manner that sensationalize the actions of those involved and give deeper meanings and human emotions to individuals who lived in the past.

Dear Friend:

I wanted to let you know that the sequel to "Mistress of the Throne," has been published! The name of the sequel is "The Hidden One," and picks up where the first book ended. The story centers around the life of Zebunissa, Aurengzeb's daughter, who foments a rebellion to overthrow her tyrannical father. Like the previous book, this book is filled with historically accurate facts with some fiction intertwined to blend the story together.

Please visit

to purchase your copy. I hope you enjoy this ready just like you enjoyed the first book. Please email me your review of the book once you've read it!

Yours,
Ruchir
