| Summary | "Daughters of Destiny" by Schuyler Staunton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the political intricacies and aspirations of characters in the context of Baluchistan. Key figures include Prince Kasam, who aims to reclaim his family's throne, as well as other players involved in a power struggle following the illness of the current ruler, Burah Khan. The opening of the novel introduces Prince Kasam of Baluchistan, who is determined to regain his rightful place as Khan. He seeks the assistance of Lord Marvale, a financier in London, in his efforts to gather support and resources for a planned uprising against the usurper Khans. Concurrently, an American construction syndicate sends a commission to Baluchistan to survey a proposed railway route. Characters such as Colonel Moore, his daughter Janet, and others form a party that includes Kasam as their guide, intertwining their journey with his political ambitions. Tensions build around themes of loyalty, betrayal, and destiny, as both the American venture and Kasam's quest unfold against the backdrop of impending change in Baluchistan.
