About the series

After spending years in Africa, James Delaney returns to London following the death of his father. His unexpected inheritance includes a small but strategically valuable piece of land on the Thames, which has already attracted the attention of powerful interests, including the East India Company. Refusing to sell, James finds himself drawn into a dangerous struggle involving political schemes, espionage, trade, and revenge. As he begins uncovering secrets surrounding his father’s legacy, it becomes clear that his own past is far more complicated—and darker—than anyone in London realizes. But James has not returned simply to claim his inheritance. He has a personal agenda, and he is willing to go to extraordinary lengths to achieve it. As his enemies close in, the line between revenge and survival begins to disappear.
