Summer, 1914. Young Englishwoman Vivian Rose Spencer is in an ancient
land, about to discover the Temple of Zeus, the call of adventure, and
love. 1000 of miles away a 20-year-old Pathan, Qayyum Gul, is learning
about brotherhood and loyalty in the British Indian army.
Summer, 1915. Viv has been separated from the man she loves; Qayyum has
lost an eye at Ypres. They meet on a train to Peshawar, unaware that a
connection is about to be forged between their lives - one that will
reveal itself 15 years later when anti-colonial resistance, an ancient
artefact and a mysterious woman will bring them together again.
