Caves of Terror

In the dying days of the British Raj, a former officer with secrets too large for peacetime England is summoned to India on a mission that will test every assumption he holds about empire, power, and the things that lurk in darkness. Athelstan King arrives in Bombay carrying orders from a distant superior, but he quickly discovers that the real power in this ancient land answers to no crown. Princess Yasmini moves through the shadows of political conspiracy while the mysterious Gray Mahatma pulls strings invisible to British eyes. What begins as a routine intelligence assignment becomes a descent into something far stranger, caves that hold more than water, secrets that predate the Raj, and a confrontation with forces that laugh at imperial might. Mundy writes India not as a backdrop but as a living, breathing entity with its own agenda, its own wisdom, and its own terrors. For readers who crave adventure that thinks as well as it thrills, who want their exotic locales to feel genuinely foreign and unsettling.
