It is the last year of the nineteenth century in the village of Chevathar in southern India.

There are Solomons sons: the dazzling, athletic Aaron and the studious Daniel, both exiled by their fathers death but in different ways, both determined to make their mark on the world. And there is Daniels son, Kannan, faced with a set of challenges that could break him if he isnt strong enough…
