Violet is sent to India to marry a wealthy Maharajah named Sardhana Singh, who is known for his cruelty and ill-treatment of women. However, when Violet arrives in India, she finds that her husband is not what he seems. He is a kind and gentle man who has been forced to marry against his will. As Violet settles into her new life, she becomes increasingly drawn to the culture and spirituality of India. She begins to explore the country and meets a number of interesting characters, including a Hindu priest and a British soldier. However, Violet's happiness is short-lived when she discovers that her husband's enemies are plotting to overthrow him. The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and the clash of cultures between the British and Indian societies.
