Synopsis
January, 1914.
They had suffered at the hands of the Raj; now they were being asked to die in its name…
Reinforcing all that Prince Krishna Ram admires about Britain, in Warren Bateman it seems the Ravi Lancers have a decent commanding officer.
A professional soldier, when the Rajah’s heir volunteers the Ravi Lancers to accompany the Indian forces destined for Europe, it is Bateman who guides their path.
In the opening months of the First World War, the fields of Flanders could not have been a tougher proving ground for them.
But battle affects men in different ways, and while the bloody carnage draws Krishna ever closer to his men, Bateman retreats behind rigid military patriotism.
As they slowly forge themselves from a prince’s private army into a unit as effective as any regulars on the front line, Bateman tramples over their customs and traditions.
A clash with Krishna is inevitable…
In the trenches far from home, the tear between allegiance to their own ancient deities and their debt to an alien god of war starts to cause a wound deeper than any man-made weapon.
Dying for a cause not their own, every man of the Ravi Lancers faces the ultimate choice: who do they follow?
Making their fateful choice, the consequences for all will be severe… nothing will be the same again.
