Book Details
M. M. Kaye, author of The Far Pavilions, sweeps her readers back to the vast, glittering, sunbaked continent of India. Shadow of the Moon is the story of Winter de Ballesteros, a beautiful English heiress who has come to India to be married. It is also the tale of Captain Alex Randall, her escort and protector, who knows that Winter's husband to be has become a debauched wreck of a man. When India bursts into flaming hatreds and bitter bloodshed during the dark days of the Mutiny, Alex and Winter are thrown unwillingly together in the brutal and urgent struggle for survival.

In The News
“An absolute joy….Shadow of the Moon is romantic, dramatic, exciting, adventurous.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer
“A striking example of the historical novel at its very best.” —Minneapolis Tribune
“What counts here is Kaye’s impeccable knowledge of India—its caste systems, multifarious temperaments, lore, history, art and architecture, its luxurious, magical atmosphere and even its flora and fauna…One comes away from the novel informed and dazzled.” —The Los Angeles Times
