Lady Emily Augusta Fitzroy is a beautiful but melancholy young noblewoman, packed off to India by her father in order to marry Warren Hastings, the tyrannical Governor of Bengal. Kidnapped by pirates, her fate suddenly rests in the hands of two men: Colonel Charles Edward Fuller, an ambitious, ruthless covert agent sent to rescue her, and the Colonel's handsome native lieutenant, Mr. Neelan, whose loyalty to Fuller is wearing thin. Neelan and Lady Emily will, against the odds, become lovers, who must struggle to free themselves from Colonel Fuller, and from the imperialist system that he represents, if their budding romance is to succeed... Jewel of the East is a moving, masterful work of historical fiction, full of vivid characters, intense action, exotic settings, heartwarming romance, and wry humor.
