In 1857 India, Col. Reginald Mills' beloved wife dies during a native riot against English oppression. Insane with grief, the Colonel's vengeance sets off a blood oath between the Mills and the Rai families. A century later in 1965 London, rivalries erupt again, and new generations carry the torch of those long dead--only this time, the passion between opposing families has produced a child. Now a young adult, Indu Bennett has a choice--she can end the feud that splits her family or fall prey to it.
