…the future of India may lie in unexpected hands.

1940, Shimla, British India. Nalini Mistry longs for a life outside of the four walls of her home; reality, however, is different.

Nalini and her two older sisters—Noor and Afreen—run the Royal Hotel Shimla, an opulent establishment that serves British high society. But when an underground revolutionary group asks them to aid a murderous conspiracy during the hotel’s Summer Jubilee Ball, they find themselves thrust headfirst into a dangerous game of lies.

Afreen dives deeper into the cause, as level-headed Noor tries to keep them safe. At the same time, Nalini finds herself enchanted by a crushingly handsome British officer, Charles Nayler—a man who sees her like no one else ever has.

As the night of the ball approaches, the sisters are drawn into a web of hidden agendas, shifting alliances, and impossible choices – where nothing is what it seems, and the price of freedom may be everything.

A Shimla Affair, a bold exploration of the true nature of freedom, follows the story of three women attempting to change the course of Indian independence—for love, duty, and revenge.
