Salt and Saffron

The Dard-e-Dils are characterised by their prominent clavicles and love of stories. Aliya may not have inherited her family'
s patrician looks, but she is prey to their legends that stretch back to the days of Timur Lang. There is a sting to most of these tales, for the Dard-e-Dils consider themselves cursed by their '
not-quite' twins. Amidst her growing attraction to a boy from the wrong side of the tracks, Aliya begins to believe that she is another '
not-quite' twin, linked to her scandalous aunt Mariam in a way that hardly bodes well.
