Book review :
🌸 The book is a historical fiction with a tinge of horror that creates goosebumps . An intriguing story that takes a cue from world history, including snippets of Ethiopia, European empire , India and the gulfs.
🌸 The story includes two timelines moving back and forth. Basically , Hukam Singh who has to pay the penalty of the curse which can consume even the strongest creatures.
🌸 The author has done deep research on the history and well penned the circumstances that existed in 1867. He pours light on how minutely the selection of commanders , civilian staff , soldiers and units were done keeping each detail in mind to accomplish the task.
🌸 The capture of Magdala is followed by loot and plunder of Golden cross and tabots, desecration of the church of Bare Mariam and hence sowing the seeds of retribution.
🌸 In return Queen Itamano curse all men who looted the cross will suffer horrible death and destruction. Those in the west not privy to the dark world lurking in curse, would not know what caused the infernal deaths twisting their lives, as also of their children.
🌸 The book is fast paced with macabre events impeccably weaven by the author. He has weaved the facts with illusory with such adroitness that readers are left guessing what will happen next?? Attention to detail is a hallmark of the book and the book acts as a panorama appreciated by all.
🌸 I loved reading this book and would recommend this historical fiction to all.
🌸Happy Reading!
