Description
Black smoke rises from the marble minarets and temple domes of the city. The screams of human suffering lie buried beneath the blazing fire of heavy cannons. Delhi burns for the seventh time, and no one can escape this inferno. As the Company’s military tide engulfs the Mughal capital, the wrath of the dreadful deity Nikhal-Bhagwan descends upon the freedom fighters. A rogue red phantom, Theo Metcalfe, weaves a sinister conspiracy. A dark dervish unleashes the terrifying sorcery hidden in Tipu’s dungeon, while a self-proclaimed Christian crusader devises an unthinkable plan. The third wish of the last Timurid poisons every soul. Amidst a looting fortress army and a merciless massacre stands only one man—Mastaan. A dervish, a commander, a poet, a hawk, a courtesan, a priest, and a djinn—this is the final chapter in the harrowing saga of Delhi, 1857. A dark heart, deaf ears… a pact with a djinn; and the price of prices—yes, it must be paid, as the mourning shroud of two yards is prepared.
