Synopsis "In Pursuit of the Fire-Breather"
In this sequel to "In Quest of the Rainbow," Isabella Hamilton's search for her estate and her parents takes her across the length of India and beyond, relentlessly pursued by her unknown enemies. But a group from her estate is always by her side, guiding her, advising her and protecting her. Joe McLeod, who has been tasked by the Court of Directors of the East India Company to convey her to her estate, joins her in her search, thereby lending her valuable support. But are the ones she believes to be her enemies, really so, or are they, unknown to her, actually her friends and protectors? And are Baldev Singh and his group, claiming to be from her estate, really her protectors, or are they, in fact, the enemy? And then there is the unseen, awesome, mysterious and all-powerful presence of the thing they had taken to be a mere amulet. Does Isabella locate her past? Does she find the estate? Does she discover who her enemies and who her true friends are? Why does the tiger roar whenever Isabella is in distress or in danger? And does she discover the secret of the amulet, the unearthing of which would unfurl all the mysteries and puzzles, and lead her to her ultimate goal? And how does Joe McLeod fit into all this?
