The Maharajah wants her to marry Captain Ashton Trevelyan of the British Army, a man he takes an immediate liking to.

Will Uma overcome her preconceptions and biases, and will Ashton, past his indifference, find empathy and concern?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost importantly, in an era of grand historical crusades, will there be time for the personal?
