After a European expedition first set sail to the Malabar Coast, the East India Company returns two centuries later in 1766, intent on securing its position along the Silk Route. While the merchants expect to tap the wealth of the region, an old evil aboard a company ship seeks a new home in this fertile land. Yet the ground around Calicut and the Indus River holds ancient daemons and legends far older than any colonizer. The story unfolds along these savage shores, where scorching days give way to nights riddled with teeth and mythic terrors.
