Description
In a Sri Lanka grappling with the aftermath of colonialism, the destinies of two rival families become inextricably linked by ambition and betrayal. As fortunes shift like the tides, Prins Ducal embarks on a profound journey to unravel his family's complex past and the enduring rivalries that shaped their present. Through a narrative that moves fluidly between past and present, the novel explores how personal relationships are entangled with national upheaval, transforming private grievances into public consequences. This is a sweeping, lyrical meditation on memory, inheritance, and the profound cost of rewriting one's own story.
