Calcutta, 1756. In the vibrant Indian Black Town, Sati, known for her radiant beauty, is revered as possessing the divine essence of Kali. She finds herself at the heart of a religious cult, captivating the devotion of her followers. Meanwhile, in British White Town, Chief Magistrate Holwell and Governor Drake unite against a common adversary: Siraj Uddaulah, the young and unpredictable nawab ruling Murshidabad. As Siraj's army descends upon Calcutta, panic spreads among the British residents who haven't managed to escape in time. Trapped within Fort William, a large portion of the Black Town population finds themselves confined with the British prisoners. This fateful night would be etched into history as the legendary Black Hole of Calcutta. Written in a lush and evocative style, A Far Horizon offers a sweeping account of the infamous incident that would later be employed as justification for the British empire's colonization of India.
