In the glittering courts of 1920s India, young Anahita Chaval rises from noble poverty to become the confidante of Princess Indira. Her journey carries her from the jeweled palaces of the maharajas to the misted hills of England, where she meets Donald Astbury, heir to a great estate shadowed by secrets. Their forbidden connection will echo across generations.
Ninety years later, film star Rebecca Bradley arrives at the crumbling Astbury Hall and crosses paths with Ari Malik, Anahita’s great-grandson, who is searching for the truth of his family’s past. Together they uncover a story of love, loss, and destiny that defied time itself.
From #1 international bestselling author Lucinda Riley, The Midnight Rose is a sweeping, heart-wrenching tale of passion and legacy.
