It is the mid-thirteenth century and the ruler of Delhi, Razia Sultana has been taken captive by the rebel noble Ikhtiyaarudin Altunia. As the proud queen spends her time in captivity, she thinks back to her remarkable childhood as the daughter of Sultan Iltutmish, growing up and training with her brothers and of her devoted companion Yakut. Most of all she thinks of her long and passionate love affair with the city she holds dearest than all else—Delhi.
