A stunning new historical children's novel from Costa
Award-winning author of Asha & the Spirit Bird.
Anushka is furious. As princess of an Indian kingdom, she has
watched the British East India Company take land and her family's
most divine jewel – an emerald the size of an apple.
So when her father, the Maharaja, decides to visit Queen Victoria
at Buckinham Palace, Nush goes too – determined to bring
back the gem that can heal her country.
A fabulous new historical direction from Costa-winning
and Waterstones-shortlisted author, Jasbinder Bilan.
Themes of colonialism and identity, mixed with an action-packed
royal mystery.
