London, 1857. Tea merchant Sir Brooks grew strong feelings for the reckless soldier and lady in disguise Miss Taylor and yet, lustful whims of the élite and thirst for blood hindered his tender affection, jeopardizing the lives of the ones he loved. Furthermore, a mutiny found its roots in the colony of India due to foreign influence and social injustices. Will their lives still be interlaced?
A new intriguing view of England's history between west and exotic east will tell the story of selfless love and a sabotage. Anyone can be bold regardless of their gender.
Dear ladies and gentlemen, you'll never believe my discovery! A little birdie told me one of the most loyal servants Her Majesty has ever had was, indeed, a sergeant of the British army, a woman whose courage was as illustrious as the boldness which would have burgeoned in a man! A revolt took place in India - where tea and spices were traded with the West - to demand justice and the East India Company was slowly losing its control over those territories. What do you think it would have happened if our sergeant had stolen the heart of a young tea merchant? Will the Empire's wealth and safety still be guaranteed?
