Beneath A Marble Sky by John Shors

A Love Story

Set against the backdrop of 17th-century India, this historical novel weaves a tale of love, betrayal, and ambition through the eyes of Princess Jahanara, the daughter of the emperor who commissioned the Taj Mahal. As she navigates the treacherous waters of court politics and familial duty, Jahanara finds herself torn between her loyalty to her father and her forbidden love for the architect of the iconic mausoleum. The story beautifully captures the opulence and intrigue of the Mughal Empire, while exploring themes of passion, sacrifice, and the enduring power of love.
