She was the face of a dynasty,
The fierce beauty, the Koh-I-Noor of the Mughal family,
And she was never up to be claimed.

A love story that shook the foundations of Mughal Manor, book one of 'The Legacy Duet.' Before Daania and Taimoor, there was the fairytale of Zeenia and Asfand.

***

As a Mughal, you either have the power to rule...or you are ruled. Zeenia Mughal is the epitome of grace, class, and elegance. The perfect role model, twice valedictorian, honors student, socialite, philanthropist, and an upcoming woman in business, she's the crown jewel of the Mughal family. Zeenia takes on the role she was born for, until the burden of expectations threatens to destroy her. 

To everyone else, she lives her life on her own terms, but in reality, the truth isn't always how it's presented, especially not by a Mughal. Blindsided by her brother, Zeenia has to fiercely contend with the future of being forced into an arranged marriage to advance the family business and its interests.

Her brother may have decided Zeenia was his to give away, but she has her own plans. Just as things look bleak, enter her knight, her savior, her charming partner in arms, the one person who's off-limits to her, her brother's best friend... Asfandyar Affandi.

Unfortunately, there are those who would rather see her fall than lead her own life. Stuck between dynastic norms and patriarchal expectations, Zeenia and Asfand have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that, they also have to fight for themselves.

Can they really believe in fairytales when their lives are a constant battlefield?

**This is a standalone novel, a prequel and first of the duet. To continue the series, read Dawn to Dusk.
