Raja

Can a descendant atone for the misdeeds that built his family’s fortune? When James Ascot uncovers the brutal truth behind the Ascot dynasty’s rule as the ‘White Rajas’ in the distant land of Gonjong, he is ashamed by his ancestors’ treacherous legacy. But when an ecological catastrophe sparks a raging jungle fire, James sees a chance to make amends. With the help of an unassuming local boatman, James confronts the dangers and sins of the past with courageous valour – a universally cherished quality, no matter one’s lineage. Through their heroic efforts, the stains of violence and betrayal perpetrated by James’s forebears may finally be cleansed, righting historic wrongs.
