- Synopsis
- Harsha Vardhana became the king of Kanauj and Thanesar in c. CE 606, and transferred his capital from Thanesar to Kanauj shortly afterwards. He ruled till CE 648. The union of these two powerful kingdoms helped Harsha extend his influence and jurisdiction over other states in north India. The grandeur and power of Kanauj under Harsha was apparently so great that, according to a contemporary text, the expression 'you want Kanauj' was used as a proverb, meaning 'you want the impossible'. 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?
