Amid Communist rebellion and an ancient prophecy, tensions rise as loyalty is tested and violence escalates, leaving Hyderabad caught between the Nizams power and Indias resolve. Publisher Description Mir Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII, is the Nizam of Hyderabad, the largest Princely State of the Crown. It sits in the belly of newly independent India to which Jawaharlal Nehru and Vallabhbhai Patel want Hyderabad to accede. The Communists have concurrently mounted a state-wide rebellion. But the Nizams family has ruled Hyderabad for 200 years. As the wealthiest man in the world, whom the British consider numero uno amongst Indias princes, he will not deal with two-penny Indian politicians! An ancient prophecy, however, hangs over the Nizam - the Asaf Jahi dynasty will last only seven generations. So, he keeps his jewel-laden trucks ready for flight even as he schemes with his army of militant Razakars. Meanwhile, in the palace thick with intrigue, the maid Uzma must decide where her loyalties lie: with the peasantry or the Nizam. Among the Communist recruits, Jaabili finds love in unexpected quarters. Violence escalates and lawlessness mounts. Caught between a volatile Nizam and a resolute India, what price will Hyderabad pay? Advance Praise for Hyderabad: Book 2 of The Partition Trilogy Hyderabad! A liberation? A tragedy?
