About this book
On a moonlit terrace above Darpore, an Indian prince entertains two British visitors while one quietly studies his host. Captain Swinton has a concealed identity in the secret service, and Lord Victor Gilfain talks about the hunting he hopes to enjoy. Prince Ananda's account of a buried city and a golden boat beneath a lake introduces a legend involving three sacred sapphires. A rough blue stone brought to dinner gives the gathering another subject for scrutiny.
William Alexander Fraser combines palace conversation, suspicion and jungle adventure in this novel set in India. A later scene follows Major Finnerty and Lord Victor as they watch a tiger confront a bison and wild dogs. The animal encounters are described in graphic detail.
