The Mute Anklet sets a new rhythm in historic mystery romance fiction

Is it a love story with a mystery woven in or is it a mystery novel with a strong romance flowing through it?

The mumurs of the "mute" anklet

The author keeps the reader engaged with vivid descriptions and interesting facts from history.

The author - Radhika - has an interesting style which captures a lot of the flavour of those times and yet keeps the reader on edge - wondering where the story will take him or her. Without doubt, the author's imagination takes us to those forts, the battle field and equally to the lovely conversations between the important characters in the plot. Uma, the heroine, is of course such...
