In the heart of India, as the world teeters on the brink of World War I, Athelstan King, a skilled British secret agent, is tasked with the daunting mission of preventing a holy war. Disguised as a member of the legendary Khyber Rifles, King infiltrates the region, a melting pot of cultures and loyalties.

Despite his initial mistrust, King finds himself drawn to Yasmini's wisdom and the shared desire to avert the impending conflict. Together, they navigate a treacherous landscape of political intrigue, cultural divides, and personal betrayals.

Yet, as they inch closer to unraveling the conspiracy, they face unforeseen dangers, testing the limits of their courage and challenging their very identities. In a world on the brink of chaos, Athelstan King and Yasmini must race against time to expose the hidden forces at play and prevent a catastrophic holy war from engulfing India and potentially the entire world.Book Details
