About this Item

Paperback. Betrayed. Buried. Bound to a curse. Panna Bai's story isn't over. Not until her lover Durga's bloodline ends. This is a saga of love set against the backdrop of the uprising in Bareilly against British rule, the Mutiny of 1857. Buried beneath the snow in a land that was never hers, Panna Bai waits-adorned in silence, armed with secrets. Once a courtesan of unmatched grace, she was loved, betrayed, and forgotten. But her story isn't over. This hauntingly beautiful tale of memory, rebellion, and revenge unfolds a saga from the shadows of 19th-century India, where the blood of empires ran with the grief of the ruled. As Panna's voice returns from beneath the earth, so does the truth that she was never allowed to speak. This is a lyrical, darkly poetic journey into the forgotten corners of colonial India-a book of longing, fury, and voices that refuse to die. This item is printed on demand.

Synopsis

Betrayed. Buried. Bound to a curse. Panna Bai's story isn't over. Not until her lover Durga's bloodline ends. This is a saga of love set against the backdrop of the uprising in Bareilly against British rule, the Mutiny of 1857. Buried beneath the snow in a land that was never hers, Panna Bai waits—adorned in silence, armed with secrets. Once a courtesan of unmatched grace, she was loved, betrayed, and forgotten. But her story isn’t over. This hauntingly beautiful tale of memory, rebellion, and revenge unfolds a saga from the shadows of 19th-century India, where the blood of empires ran with the grief of the ruled. As Panna’s voice returns from beneath the earth, so does the truth that she was never allowed to speak. This is a lyrical, darkly poetic journey into the forgotten corners of colonial India—a book of longing, fury, and voices that refuse to die.
