The young Prince and Princess of this realm manifest rich precolonial Indian culture, with all the exotic luxuries of wealth and privilege tempered by the cultural expectations that burden royalty and limit personal freedom.

The story moves seamlessly and swiftly, with plenty of cliffhangers to make the reader eager for a sequel.The author has mastery over her craft, she has created a fictional land, yet has brought it alive with her words. I loved the dichotomy between the love story and the war sequences—loved the undertone of feminism and the portrayal of female characters as strong in a distinct, unique way."Heir to Malla" was a suspenseful, fast-paced novel that kept one reading to find out what would happen next! The book is a delicate balance of romance, thrill and culture which will attract male and female readers of various ages. A suspense thriller weaved around the medieval period set in India with a mythological touch. Right from the beginning the narration keeps you hooked with the suspense, the thrill of the twists in the plots and the plotting of the characters for the throne.
