The greatest tragedy of Queen Victoria's reign... ...was the fate
of over 100 women and children who were hacked to pieces with meat
cleavers by the rebel forces of the Great Mutiny. Henry Booth
remembers his early childhood in India and knows his mother was one
of the victims of the infamous Cawnpore massacre. He has spent a
quiet life in England trying to recover from the the nightmare of
her death. But when Henry suddenly receives his mother's diary from
Calcutta and learns the truths that it lays bare, everything the
young Englishman believes is called into question. Pursued by the
past, Henry goes from being a respectable Oxford student to being a
hunted murderer, chased by police and a deadly cult of killers who
want the secrets that lie hidden in his mother's diary. Along the
way Henry falls in love with an Indian courtesan and is caught up
in the Great Game, the power struggle between the British and
Russian empires, the superpowers of the Victorian age. Henry must
take sides and his life will never be the same. No matter what
choice he makes, he will have to betray those closest to him.
