“Break the chains!” were the cryptic orders of Queen Victoria Empress of India. In December 1867, a force set sail from Bombay, under Lt Gen Sir Robert Napier OBE, to bring to heel the Ethiopian Emperor Twedros and subjugate his Abyssinian Empire. The Abyssinian Campaign, involving the greatest force to sail under the British Empire, led to death, desecration and loot. The looted ancient treasures ended up in England, in Museums and private collections.
One of the Regiments brings back a processional Cross from the Church at Magdala. The Cross has a Curse linked to it.
What starts as an innocent interest, turns into a sinister quest. Vikram’s great grandfather had taken part in the campaign into Abyssinia. Catherine is the granddaughter of Sylvia Pankhurst, the world-famous champion of Ethiopian rights; Aferwork has a blood line connected to the concubine of Emperor Twedros II.
