At the start of World War I, Captain Athelstan King works as a secret spy for the British Raj. It depicts King's travels with the mystical lady adventurer, princess Yasmini, and the Turkish mullah Muhammed Anim among the (mainly Muslim) tribes of the north. King's writing was greatly affected by both Mundy's own disastrous career in India and by his interest in theosophy.
