    Set in 19th-century British India, this sweeping historical novel follows Ashton “Ash” Pelham-Martyn, a young Englishman raised as an Indian, as he negotiates divided loyalties between the empire and the culture that shaped him. Against the backdrop of the turbulent Northwest Frontier, his coming-of-age unfolds through war, political intrigue and a passionate, star-crossed love that forces him to confront identity, honor and belonging. Rich in exotic detail and adventure, the story traces personal and imperial conflicts, exploring friendship, revenge and the human cost of empire.
