In the turbulent years when Mughal power was tightening its grip on Bengal, a young Rajput soldier named Jagat Singh is captured while campaigning against a defiant hill fort. Held captive in Garh Mandaran, he falls in love with Tilottama, the fort commander's daughter, even as war, treachery, and a rival's obsessive passion threaten to tear them apart. Bankimchandra's very first novel, and the book that founded the modern Bengali novel as a form, weaves history, romance, and tragedy into a single sweeping story of loyalty and desire set against a fortress under siege in sixteenth-century India.
