Synopsis

JEAN-FRANÇOIS ALLARD, former Captain of Napoleon Bonaparte is forced into exile after his defeat at Waterloo. In search of adventure, his journey as a 'soldier-of-fortune' leads him to Persia and ultimately Punjab, an independent kingdom, where the legendary king MAHARAJA RANJIT SINGH enlists him to modernize and overhaul the Sikh army in the backdrop of British expansionism in India. And so the stage is set for a diplomatic confrontation between the MAHARAJA, the AFGHANS, and the BRITISH all competing for territorial supremacy.
During the siege of the Himalayan fortress of Chamba, BANNU PAN DEÏ, a beautiful Princess is captured. JEAN FRANÇOIS falls hopelessly in love with her. This story takes you on an epic adventure from the machinations of Lahore to the tranquillity of St Tropez. When the MAHARAJA suffers' a stroke and is gravely ill, JEAN FRANÇOIS vows to return to Lahore to serve his sovereign once again, much to BANNU'S anguish.
Will our hero, JEAN FRANÇOIS ALLARD sacrifice his princess to save the bedridden MAHARAJA from internal intrigues, or will the kingdom inevitably become a province of the British Indian empire! This is a gripping true story of a sweet romance, in the midst of turmoil, sacrifice, greed and loyalty.
