From the Back Cover

Eleven-year-old Sarah Wright's life was complicated enough as a half-caste, a girl of English and Indian descent. Now, in a world where her parents were devoured, yes devoured, she must learn how to survive by her own wits. Often overlooked, Sarah carries a secret that may provide the key to saving the world.

Sixteen-year-old Charles Griffiths was a common street thief turned soldier. Military service beat the brigs, that was until curseds started popping up like daisies. Now all Charlie wants is to go home to jolly old England. But will his relationship with an Indian princess give him the courage to keep battling the undying hoards?

Sixteen-year-old Princess Jamini Silhara was clever and fierce and just a smidge rebellious. Before the cursed outbreak, her future looked bleak, but now her father believes she may serve as the inspiring symbol the Marathas need to unite against the curseds. Jamini had always dreamed of adventure, but leading a kingdom was not what she had in mind.

Fourteen-year-old Prince Badri was the sole male heir of King Rajat the Great, but in an unexpected turn of events, he's been pushed aside in favor of his sister.
