The Three Sapphires

William Alexander Fraser

Adventure, Novels

Three sacred sapphires. A buried city's lost treasure. And the Englishmen who will risk everything to claim them. Set in the palace of Prince Ananda in the exotic city of Darpore, this early 20th-century adventure unfolds against a backdrop of colonial India, where ancient mythology and imperial ambition collide. Lord Victor Gilfain and Captain Swinton find themselves drawn into a web of intrigue surrounding three legendary sapphires, each tied to rituals, elephants, and the fabled wealth of a vanished kingdom. As the men navigate palace politics, cultural mysteries, and their own desires for fortune and glory, Fraser weaves a tale that is both a ripping adventure and a fascinating artifact of its era. The prose carries readers through moonlit balconies, sacred rituals, and the dangerous allure of forbidden treasure. For fans of Rider Haggard, Kipling, and every reader who has ever wondered what lies beneath the surface of empire.
