Excerpt from Tales of Indian ChivalryRough hands would soon have stripped her not only Of jewels, but also of her rich em broidered garments, had it not been for the sudden appearance upon the scene of Abbas Khan and his following. The robbers, unable to resist such a force, fled precipitately, pursued by some twenty Of the Mogul troopers. Tulsi bai remained seated on the ground, a picture of misery, scarcely realizing that she had escaped from the perils by which she had been surrounded. Her countenance, however, soon began to brighten when her young deliverer approached. If the robbers were rakshasasl, he was surely a god. Never had she seen in human form anything so grand and beautiful as this handsome young soldier in all the glory Of his martial panoply. Nor had he ever seen anything so lovely as Tulsibai, as she sat there before him with her lustrous eyes full of tears, and with her loveliness cunningly set Off by her bridal array.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Burma was wild and exotic, with a rich landscape and tempestuous weather. Frank was quickly introduced to the world of rubies abounding in the country, especially the very expensive “Pigeon blood ruby.” However, this beautiful and distant world had a dark side; its villagers were poor, uneducated, and the victims of slave and prostitution ring leaders. While being initiated to the world of weapons and rubies trade, Frank met with a young and very intelligent boy by the name of Phirrot. The boy, who spoke very little English, opened the doors to a culture Frank was dying to discover. But shortly after their meeting, the only Burmese friend Frank had was snatched one night while his village was being burned down. Grabbing the only opportunity, he had to chase after Alex; Frank, with the help of a few willing monks, went on a mission to rescue Phirrot. After a first failed attempt, Frank met with the beautiful Paula (an international investigator for child abuse) and together they were able to rescue the stolen children. Soon after, he was faced by Khun Sa himself who tried to make an example out of Frank by executing the monks who offered to help him. While running away from the general, Frank faced another great challenge; the powerful monsoon rains, which literally drowned him and the kids he was trying to save. The challenges confronting him, forced Frank to face his real enemies buried inside his soul; rooting from his own devastated childhood, with an abusive father who did nothing but bring him down. Frank finally understood that his dedication to saving Phirrot was actually an indirect attempt at saving himself. Fortunately, Frank survived and was approached by Paula’s group who trained and sent him to Brazil where he was about to face the evil men operating the shameful trade. In order to infiltrate the international ring, Frank had to pose as a customer preying on the very same kids he was trying to save. His mission will take him to a “Kill scene” where Frank only had seconds to save two children from a tragic end. The ringleaders now captured, Frank returned to his daughters with the great feeling of having found redemption.
