About this audiobook
London, 1898. James Harrington has a title waiting for him, a fortune secured, and a young family. When he takes an engineering post on the ambitious Kalka–Simla Railway, he trades all of it for the Himalayas and a tunnel that refuses to meet in the middle. Between a mystic who reads mountains like scripture, a mountain that claims lives as fast as it yields to them, and a household of strangers who slowly become family, James discovers that empire's cold arithmetic asks more of a man than any ledger ever could.
Margaret follows him and finds something in India that unmakes her quietly and completely. What she is willing to leave behind to become the woman she was always meant to be is the real heart of this story.
Spanning a decade and an ocean, Of Iron and Incense is a historical saga of duty, faith, and the extraordinary cost of choosing your own path for readers who want their historical fiction to hurt a little before it heals.
Some bonds are forged. Others are simply found.
