In the Age of Discovery, there were three identical crosses. Portugal's King Manuel I had bestowed one on Vasco da Gama, who discovered the sea route to India. The second he had bestowed on Pedro Álvares Cabral, who discovered Brazil, and the third on Afonso de Albuquerque who established the Portuguese hegemony in the Indian Ocean. Over the centuries two of the crosses have disappeared. Probably they're hidden away in some antique collectors' vaults. The third hangs around James's neck. A clause put in by an ancestor during the Inquisition in Goa prevents Aeram, a practising Muslim, from inheriting Richard Albuquerque's estates. Only his Christian son, James, can claim the title even though he was born out of wedlock. When Aeram presents Richard's will in court, Daniel Albuquerque aka Danny (Richard's cousin) contests the claim. James and Aeram battle the demons of their past to take on Danny and the very powerful Archbishop Patrick to save their estates. When Aeram and Saysha go to New York, they accidentally meet Igor Lebedinsky, a young intern at Aeram's agent's office. Saysha discovers that he's the son of Alexandre Lebedinsky, the mining tycoon from Moscow and brother of her deceased birth-mother. Saysha realizes that James is not an ordinary stuntman. Even her very rich and powerful husband is scared of him. In the forests around the Albuquerque villa on the banks of the Mandovi river, James finally shows her why the property means much more than mere inheritance. #goa #youngadultfiction #thegoasaga #gonegoagone #eishasarkar #mandovi #mining #christianity #inquisition #goainquisition #portugueseinquisition #afonsodealbuquerque #albuquerque #catholic #catholicchurch #childabuse #childsexualabuse #mentalhealth #marriage #love #longing #lust #inheritance #identity #sex #homosexuality #travel #newyork #russian #moscow #tourism #paris #alhandra #portugal #mumbai #delhi #bollywood #movies #indianfilmindustry #media
