Eighteenth-century England is a turbulent time. While its empire of rich colonial countries flourishes, its city streets teem with orphans and beggars. The Poor Law Act tries to stem the flow, and children are snatched from poor families and placed in foster homes of the wealthy nobility. Caught in this web is three-year-old Geoffrey Garland, who adjusts to the rich lifestyle, but his master has a dark secret: he lusts for little boys. Forced into the School for the Poor at seven years of age, the memories of his loving master become his passion. A cruel headmaster heaps torture and humiliation on his young shoulders. At fourteen years of age, filled with hatred and darkness, his one desire is to find his master, who stole his innocence. His quest takes him to India, where richness and mystery awaits. Using a false lord's name, Lord Geoffrey fits in with wealthy nobility and embraces their decadence. A dark and handsome lord appears. He lures him to his tea plantation in mystical Assam, India's remote northern country. While the beauty and wilderness captures our Lord Geoffrey's heart, the dark shadows of his past haunt him. His life unfolds in a fast-paced, suspense-filled adventure of mystery, darkness, unbridled passion, and true love. What he seeks eludes him, but a surprise ending leaves the reader wanting more.
