Embers; An Anglo-Indian Memoir is my story in the context of history and locale. It takes you to the places I lived in India and some of the historical events with some background that reaches into the Raj Era. This book is a tapestry of the Anglo-Indian community expressed through my lens and that of my family. It has an Index, Vocabulary, and Recommended Books list which makes it very accessible. The Contents with section and chapter headings make the book flow. It will fill out the knowledge base of the lives lived by Anglo-Indians and the community that is dispersed in a worldwide diaspora. It should provide a very satisfying read to those who are steeped in this genre as well as those just curious, who have families who lived in India and who are almost forgotten but not yet.

Once a generation, when the emperor's heir comes of age, each realm must offer their most powerful gifted youth for a ritual known as The Emperor's Due. These selectees, born with incredible abilities, become training partners for the prince and are taught to one day help him rule the Empire. Quickly after the ritual is completed and their training begins, turmoil erupts in the Empire. Pirates command the sea and dragons rule the skies, while assassinations and betrayal threaten to break the emperor's hold over the individual realms. With no one to trust except each other, the selectees find themselves fighting for their lives while trying to keep the Empire from being engulfed in war.
