Punjab, 1753. The deadliest place on earth to be a Sikh.
Ruhi and Jaikaar Singh are British-born siblings who've come to Punjab to scatter their grandfather's ashes. But when their grandmother steps off a pier into the dark waters of the Sutlej, they dive in after her - and surface in a world that shouldn't exist.
It is 1753. Mir Mannu, the tyrant governor of Lahore, has put a price on every Sikh head in Punjab. Villages are burning. Families are vanishing. And two siblings raised on Wi-Fi and takeaways must now survive one of the darkest chapters in Sikh history - armed only with each other, their grandmother's parting gift of two ancient Kirpans, and a faith one of them isn't sure he even believes in.
Inspired by true events still remembered in the Sikh Ardas today, The Children of Punjab is an unflinching story of faith, family, and the price of freedom.
