It is 1857 and Ian Steele, known to all as Captain Samuel Forbes, is fighting for Queen and country in Persia. A world away, the real Samuel Forbes is planning to return to London - with potentially disastrous consequences for both men. Meanwhile, army surgeon Peter Campbell and his wife Alice are in India on their honeymoon, with no idea of the chaos about to erupt.

After a brief return to England and a reunion with the woman he loves, Ian is posted to India, where he finds Peter and Alice in an unexpected and dangerous position. Together they face the enemy and the terrible savagery of war - but then Ian receives news from London that crushes all his hopes . . .
