A Mine of Faults

"A Mine of Faults" by F. W. Bain is a captivating tale that unfolds in the realm of ancient Hindu culture, where love and diplomacy dance together, showing what happens when a goddess's world collides with that of her divine consort, and the human lives of King Chand and the woman who will change his life become entwined. Right from the start, the novel dives what people think about women are, comparing them to "a mine of faults", which interestingly, only makes them more captivating. We meet King Chand, who, raised as a warrior, has little regard for women. That is, until he meets King Mitra's daughter, who throws his world and beliefs for a loop, forcing him to deal with hard truths. As he struggles with what he thinks he knows and the feelings growing inside him, the story gives a close look at relationships, identity, and the hidden strength found in being vulnerable, all told in a style that is as enchanting as it is thought-provoking.
