“Downton Abbey-style saga meets Sleeping With The Enemy, but set in India!” 

“Part of what makes this such a compelling story is that it’s told from the perspective of an amazing, strong, female Indian character who struggles to thrive within the systemic oppression of both her marriage and a male-dominated social caste. Sheetal’s story presents characters with a unique cultural diversity that has largely been absent from the mainstream contemporary fiction… The characters are all complex, well developed… the entire package deal I look for and am always very excited to see as a judge in this competition. Thank you!”—Judge, 13th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published E-book Awards

In Dynasties, Anju Gattani has created an utterly immersive reading experience—fascinating characters, evocative details, compelling dramatic turns, all set against the teeming irrepressible vibrancy of modern-day India. A bravura performance.” —David Corbett, award-winning author of The Art of Character

DYNASTIES

What would you do if family, the people you trusted most, betrayed you?

Sheetal Prasad, a glamorous, twenty-two-year-old oil painter, is the envy of Raigun, India. Her homeland, now modern and global, at last allows women to marry for love, and Sheetal is determined to wed her college sweetheart. Her parents, however, insist she fulfill her familial duty, preserve their honor, and marry millionaire Rakesh Dhanraj—or be cast out forever.

The alliance of the Prasad and Dhanraj families drowns Sheetal in a web of lies, deceit, and betrayal. In her plan to sever this marriage and escape, Sheetal uncovers numerous devastating secrets that threaten to bring down the two family dynasties. When the Dhanraj’s tyranny threatens her son, Sheetal has no choice but to protect the boy at all costs, burning down the façade of her abusive marriage and empowering herself to break free of all bondages.
