The Rajah's Heir: A Novel in 3 Volumes

A young Englishman named Tom Gregory lives an ordinary life in England until a dying Indian prince's final wish upends everything. The Rajah of Gumilcund, reflecting on his life as it fades, entrusts his loyal servant Chunder Singh with a singular mission: find the forgotten heir of royal blood who can inherit his throne and protect his people. Tom, raised in modest circumstances with no knowledge of his lineage, suddenly faces an impossible question - who is he, really? Between two worlds and two identities, he must choose between the comfortable anonymity of his English life and the weight of a crown he never asked for. The novel pulses with Victorian fascination with empire, inheritance, and the boundaries of identity. It asks what happens when blood claims you before you can claim yourself.
