About the Book

This collection of stories weaves together chivalry and romance, spanning several centuries and drawing inspiration from both history and the epic poetry of great bards. The bards, known for their fervid and imaginative verse, created vivid narratives that touched upon themes of war, bravery, love, sacrifice, and death.

The stories in this book are not just about historical events, but also about the larger-than-life legends created by the bards. The tales are mainly set in Rajasthan and central and western India, but some expand beyond, covering a broader geographical canvas across the country. Each vignette blends war, glory, and sacrifice with romanticism and honor, offering readers a captivating glimpse into the spirit of India's rich historical and cultural heritage.
