The House of Rani Kapur by A K Karla

Delhi, 1947... Welcome to The House of Rani Kapur, where nothing is as it seems, and everything is as it should be. A house where dreams are made, betrothals brokered, and hearts mended; a house where anything is possible if the belief is there and faith kept. Watched over by Harish Hope, George, and Parvati the golden goddess, visitors are drawn like moths to a flame to add to the diversity already found inside. Brutally attacked during the riots of Partition, fifteen-year-old Rani is rescued from a ditch and taken to the house, where her future will be decided when she comes of age. Should she stay to play her part as many have done before her, or choose another life altogether, and leave the safety of its walls and the people who live within them? Magic awaits all those ready to receive it. Welcome to The House of Rani Kapur...
