Miss Amanda Cavencourt has lived in India for years. Her exotic beauty and alarming affinity for local customs has long distressed her brother, a member of the East India Company. He feels his marriage is the perfect occasion for Amanda's return to England.
On the eve of her departure, Amanda goes to visit her dear friend the Rani, who regards Amanda as the daughter of her heart. Her farewell gift to Amanda is a sandalwood statue of a princess. That night, as Amanda returns to her brother's house, she is attacked and the gift is stolen.
And so begins Amanda's connexion with the handsome rogue known only as the Falcon. This mysterious man is known to be trusted by governments to undertake the most dangerous and delicate missions. Amanda cannot imagine the reason for his interest in her statue. But she knows if the Falcon is involved, the matter is deadly, and she fears for Rani's safety.
Against a background of oriental intrigue and ancient feuds, Amanda schemes to discover the cause of the Falcon's interest, and to recover the statue.
The Falcon has never failed, but in Amanda he has met his match, for she is as intelligent as she is beautiful. Indeed fate seems to have cast them as perfect enemies - or perfect lovers.
