Historical narratives have undoubtedly secured an important place in popular literature with readers clearly showing keen interest in understanding the past. The intrigue of a bygone era has the ability to captivate imagination, in ways that few things can. That intrigue, that fascination can best be explored through storytelling that is as riveting as it is well researched. Bestselling author Rrashima Swaarup Verma’s new book The Mewar Conspiracy is one such epic tale.

The Mewar Conspiracy has been represented by the country’s leading literary agency The Book Bakers and published by one of India’s biggest publishing houses Srishti Publishers and Distributors. The book chronicles a highly engaging tale from 17^th century Indian history, a tale of love, war, valour and sacrifice. Narrating the story of Princess Charumati of Kishengarh, Rana Raj Singh of Mewar (the great-great grandson of Maharana Pratap) and the sixth Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, the book’s plot will have its readers turning the pages until the very end. With a plot and characters that are enthralling and riveting in equal measure, and the beautiful settings of 17^th century Rajasthan as well as the erstwhile walled city of Shahjahanabad, the book is a sure shot page turner. The in depth, intense research that the author has conducted to bring the story to life, is evident from the exhaustive list of references at the end. Her narration and descriptions of time and place are so compelling that readers will feel as though the story is unfolding in front of them.
