A gripping historical thriller of betrayal and retribution set against the tumultuous backdrops of 18th century Africa and colonial India.
East Africa, 1750: Lachlan McKenzie doesn’t know why he and his family live on a remote trading post on the slave coast of Africa. The past is best left buried is all his father will say about it. But then one day three warships sail downriver and turn their guns on their tiny fort.
Lachlan's burning thirst for revenge takes him from the African savannah and the slave markets of Mozambique to the Moghul palaces and British redcoat forts of Carnatic India. But his enemy is like no man he has ever faced. A man without pity and without conscience.
When Lachlan finally learns the unthinkable truth about the past, he discovers that revenge is not quite as simple as he had thought.
