James Achilles Kirkpatrick arrives in India with one ambition: to become an officer in the army of the East India Company. In 1798, he is appointed Resident at the court of the Nizam where he glimpses Khair un-Nissa, the great-niece of the Prime Minister of Hyderabad. From then on, he will not stop until he wins the heart of this young beauty, already promised to another. Kirkpatrick will eventually convert to Islam to marry her, thus crossing all the cultural, religious, and political boundaries of his time.
William Benedict Hamilton-Dalrymple is a Scottish historian, art historian, indologist, curator, broadcaster, critic and author.
