Set against the backdrop of colonialism, the story follows Abbas, a young toy maker taken to Tipu Sultan's palace to create a musical tiger. His apprenticeship with the eccentric clockmaker Monsieur Du Leze leads to unexpected friendships, including with the ambitious Jehanne. However, when British soldiers loot Mysore, Abbas's life is upended as he embarks on a quest to reclaim his stolen creation and carve out his identity. Blending artistry, adventure, and romance, this novel explores themes of history, empire, and belonging.
