But how to leave the enigmatic man whose love defied two cultures, and the child she loved as her own? When political and civil conflicts threaten to escalate into violence, Mariana searches for answers in a world no Englishwoman has ever seen... The second part of the beautiful trilogy about Victorian India will leave you breathless!
