Set in 1875 during the tense period of the 'Great Game', the story follows a British officer tasked with a perilous mission to Khiva, a Russian city off-limits to Europeans. With Britain discovering Russia's intentions to annex India, the officer must uncover whether Khiva is being prepared as a launch point for invasion. The narrative explores themes of espionage, imperial rivalry, and the high stakes of geopolitical maneuvering in central Asia.
