"Tanisha the Sorceress", takes us back to 1932 and describes the fate of a man who travels to India at the invitation of a friend and now disgraced professor.
The traveller - and dilettante dabbler in the collection of antiquities and Eastern culture in question - is told of yet another friend and archaeologist who has found madness and despair in his search for the tomb of an Indian peasant queen previously thought mythical.
A supposedly evil and sexually deviant queen looked upon by the women of her time as a kind of early and vengeful feminist.
It will fall to him and his disgraced friend to try and discover the truth of what happened to the third member of their triad and, in doing so place their mortal souls in danger of the most terrifying and lasting kind.
For all is not right and the men are surrounded by both betrayal and perversion that, if not acted upon, will see their live become one long round of duty and service to¿
Tanisha the Sorceress.
Comes complete with illustrated chapter-headings.
