The year is 1813. From the turbulence of Europe, ravaged by Napoleon's rampaging armies, to the seething cauldron of India, comes a lad, Joseph McLeod, twenty years of age, newly recruited in the East India Company's Bengal Army.

While still in London, he comes across an exotically beautiful girl, Isabella Hamilton, the scion of a well-known aristocratic family, and is attracted to her.

Later, two attempts are made on her life, in one of which, her parents are fatally wounded. On his deathbed, her father reveals a shocking secret from Isabella's past concerning her parentage and a valuable estate in India.

Later, while rummaging through the attic of her house, among her childhood bric-a-brac, she comes across an ivory piece with a silver chain, which she takes to be an amulet. But is it really an amulet? Or is it some device that is beyond the conception of western science, a thing so devastatingly powerful that it boggles the mind?

Who are the people after her life? And why do they want her dead?

The answers to these questions could only be found in India. And on those answers, and their subsequent follow-up, depends her future, fortune, and her life.
