In 1911, two English roses embark on an adventure under the Indian sun that will test their every limit.

When high society sisters Isobel and Violet find themselves down on their luck, an unexpected inheritance sends them on an unforgettable voyage of discovery to face a wild destiny, deep in the jungles of India. With only their widowed Aunt Bea to guide them, the sisters will have to bond together through sickness and health if they have any hope of surviving this strange new world.

But with Violet determined to marry well and return to England as soon as possible, Isobel faces an uncertain future. Yet, as the mystery of this unknown and lavish landscape and its people pulls Isobel under its spell, their past life fades to a distant memory. A strength and courage born of her experiences and surroundings sets her on a path few well-bred ladies have ever trod – one of independence and freedom…
