When the usurper's sword came for the infant prince, nursemaid Panna Dhai made an impossible choice—she hid the royal child and put her own son in his place. Her sacrifice saved a kingdom.

This is just one of eight legendary tales from Rajasthan's proudest kingdom. A blue horse makes one final leap to save its wounded master. A teenage warrior carries his commander into battle on his shoulders. A princess chooses her bhakti to God over her place in the palace. Two lovers separated for twenty years find each other through a single song.

Spanning nearly a thousand years, these stories of courage, loyalty, devotion and love shaped the soul of Mewar. Some endings are happy, some are heartbreaking, but every one will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

For readers aged 12+. The first book in the Legends of India series.
