Late 18th century. The Indian city of Mysore. Young woodcarver Abbas works with French inventor Lucien Du Lez to create a roaring mechanical tiger. The tiger is to become the greatest treasure in Tipu Sultan's collection. However, the British come to Mysore, Tipu Sultan's palace is looted, and the automaton goes to Britain as a spoils of war. And Abbas, who barely survived the carnage, suddenly realizes that the creator and his creation are firmly bound together. He has to go after the tiger in cold and incomprehensible Europe ...
An incredibly gripping, moving historical novel about the miracle of true love and the magic of talent that transcends all circumstances and racial prejudice.
