About this book

Two childhood friends fall out over the same young woman while serving in a troubled Indian state. In Ranjitgarh, Henry Gerrard and Robert Charteris assist Colonel Edmund Antony, the British Resident and protector of an infant prince. Their rivalry for Honour Cinnamond threatens the cooperation Antony expects from his officers, turning a private quarrel into a matter of public duty.

Sydney C. Grier sets this historical romance among military appointments, plans for political reform and the close scrutiny of station society. Antony presses Gerrard to repair the friendship, while a later conversation with Mrs Jardine shows how family gossip and expectations about marriage shape Honour's position. The appeal lies in the pressure these overlapping loyalties place on personal conduct: friendship, affection and professional ambition all demand an answer. The colonial setting also offers a view of how British officials describe their authority and responsibilities.
