East Africa, 1750.
Lachlan McKenzie has spent his entire life on a remote trading post along the slave coast, growing up beneath the shadow of secrets his father refuses to discuss.
Then everything changes.
When a rogue fleet attacks without warning, the fort is destroyed, lives are lost, and the world Lachlan has always known is wiped away in a single day.
He should have died with it.
Instead, he survives.
Driven by grief and an unquenchable thirst for vengeance, Lachlan embarks on a perilous journey across Africa and India in pursuit of the man responsible.
But the world beyond his isolated home is far more dangerous than he imagined.
Empires rise and fall.
Armies march across contested lands.
Slave traders, soldiers, merchants, and kings all play their part in a brutal struggle for wealth and power.
As Lachlan follows a trail of betrayal through bustling ports, military outposts, and fading imperial courts, he uncovers truths that challenge everything he believed about his family, his enemies, and himself.
Because revenge is never simple.
And some secrets are worth killing to protect.
