Aug 1824, Robert Fullerton has just been appointed the Governor of the
Prince of Wales Island (Penang) under the British administration in
India. He is intent on intervening in the affairs of Perak, which is
under the influence of Siam, despite reservations of the Colonial Office
in London. To achieve his end of persuading Perak to accept a British
Resident for 'protection', but primarily to gain access to its riches,
Fullerton condones privateering, the escalation of piracy in the waters
of the state.The story trails the dark history of the Malay Peninsula involving, politically influential, Malay secret societies during this period, Indera Sakti was formed in the sixteenth century, after the defeat of the Malaccan army by the Portuguese, by soldiers who vowed to take back the entire peninsula, but currently consists of "sadistic reptiles who are assassins, pirates and other undesireables." Darul Kubra, another society, was formed to protect the treasures of Malik Al-Mansur, the ruler of Beruas who abandoned the city and fled from the advancing Portuguese.
This is a historical fiction, a swashbuckling tale of silat and sorcery, piracy and plunder. And Magic.
