much like a lone flower blossoming upon the steepest edges of a cliff

>> Trademark Lashy's line 😆 Truth be told, your stories are also like this.. Distinct and singular amidst umpteen routine ones.. with due apologies to other writers.. 😳

Prologue:

Three Great Emperors had toiled hard to build the vast and flourishing legacy of the 'Mughal Empire',

>> Lashy, my mind stopped at the word Three.. Shouldn't it be Two? For a sec, I thought its going to be Salim, the protagonist and not Jalal.

keeping relative peace by unifying its Mughals and Hindus. However; by mid 1600s, cracks began to appear in its solid foundations. Insecurities crept in through the gaps, widening the gulfs between the two religions once again.

With the old Emperor becoming too feeble to take charge and his jealous successors remaining preoccupied with expansion and power, the damage was never repaired. Not surprising then that new rebellions arose every day. Violence escalated, claiming many innocent lives.

>>After reading this, I'm relaxed that Mughal empire is only for backdrop. Its going to be a new story, new dimension!! And I'll be happier if you change the leads' names.. it'd be refreshing!! ( 😡 the magic is in the name which attracts us like a magnet,without their name we can not connect with story.the story will be like a body without soul because souls are jalal and jodha. 😃 )

Yet; in the midst of such turmoil and peril, there bloomed a beautiful story - much like a lone flower blossoming upon the steepest edges of a cliff - a story of love, of sacrifice and honour!

>>And we so love such cliff-edged love stories

********************************************

Forced to flee from her motherland, the one home she knew... forced to leave behind her people, for whom, she was their only hope...forced to grievously abandon the last rites of her loved one while the flames on the pyre were still ablaze...the orphaned heiress of 16 overcame grief and many shortcomings, as she embarked on a long dangerous path... setting out to seek help and support, for her people and her lands...

>> This reminds me of Jennifer Merrick in Kingdom of Dreams.. especially the last line!! 😆

Till a chance stay with a complete stranger would change the course of those very plans forever!

>>So love is going to alter all her plans.. interesting!!

Being the most shrewd, determined and unforgiving of the lot meant he was formidable... a force to be reckoned with... it also meant he could have owned it all - riches, power, women and fame... but, he fancied none of it...

>>Phew!! I breathed a breather at this line.. but, he fancied none of it... A workaholic, women-disinterested male protagonist falling for a beautiful, feisty female protagonist is going to be a promising love story!! 😆🤗

As a recluse with simple tastes, the rich life held no real appeal... power didn't tempt him... women didn't interest him... his passion was work and his only family were a few loyal friends... he had decided that he wanted little else in life...

Till a chance visit from a complete stranger would change that decision forever!

>>Crossed paths, mingled destinies, altered futures.. Lashy you've created enough of interest with this prologue.. waiting for chapter 1

Before bidding bye.. one tightest hug to you for coming back with a bang 🤗🤗🤗
