The Hex of a Broken Diadem is a sweeping historical novel set during the Anglo-Gorkha War (1814-1815), when a remote Himalayan conflict became entangled in global power struggles. As the British East India Company-hardened by the Napoleonic Wars and enriched by global trade-pushes its imperial reach eastward, fears of a Gorkha-Sikh alliance raise the stakes far beyond the mountains.
Amid marching armies and shifting empires, the novel lays bare the corruption eating away at the expansionist Gorkha state. Ambitious officials exploit wartime authority, targeting once-protected Brahmin communities for profit. Their greed clashes with the honor of soldiers like Captain Kunwar Singh, forcing him to choose between loyalty and conscience.
Blending epic warfare with intimate moral struggle, The Hex of a Broken Diadem is a gripping tale of betrayal, redemption, and ambition-where one man's fall and another's redemption may decide the fate of a shattered crown.
