In the heart of 19th-century Calcutta, a city where the ancient and the modern collide, Sounak Bhattacharya, a respected scholar of the arts, finds himself on the edge of madness. What begins as unsettling dreams and fleeting visions soon unravel into a haunting mystery that transcends time and reality. Sounak’s once peaceful life is shattered by strange occurrences—a shimmering world glimpsed only in the periphery of his mind. The more he tries to dismiss them, the stronger they become. Soon, his visions begin bleeding into his waking life, and Sounak can no longer distinguish between his reality and the shadowy world that lurks beneath the surface of his mind. Determined to uncover the truth, Sounak embarks on a journey through the bustling streets and forgotten alleys of Calcutta. His search for answers leads him to forgotten archives, cryptic clues, and unsettling encounters with mystics, scholars, and strangers who seem to know more about his visions than they let on. As he delves deeper into the mystery, Sounak begins to unravel secrets buried in the city’s past—secrets that point to a hidden enigma and a long-forgotten truth that could alter the course of his life forever. But with every step closer to the truth, Sounak’s sanity is further tested.

From the international bestselling author of KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON and THE LOST CITY OF Z, a mesmerising story of shipwreck, mutiny and murder, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth. On 28th January 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty’s ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon, the Wager was wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia. The crew, marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing 2,500 miles of storm-wracked seas. They were greeted as heroes. Then, six months later, another, even more decrepit, craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways and they had a very different story to tell. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes – they were mutineers. The first group responded with counter-charges of their own, of a tyrannical and murderous captain and his henchmen. While stranded on the island the crew had fallen into anarchy, with warring factions fighting for dominion over the barren wilderness. As accusations of treachery and murder flew, the Admiralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The stakes were life-and-death—for whomever the court found guilty could hang.
