A New York Times Bestselling Author In the heyday of the British Raj, eleven-year-old Anahita, from a noble but impoverished family, becomes friend and official companion to Princess Indira, daughter of Indian royalty. Accompanying her to England just before World War I, Anahita meets young Donald Astbury, reluctant heir to the magnificent Astbury Estate. Ninety years later, Anahita's great-grandson arrives at the now-crumbling Astbury Hall on a quest for his family's past.
