"The Red Year: A Story of the Indian Mutiny" by Louis Tracy is an adventure that unfolds during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, as it shines a light on the growing divide between the British and the Indian sepoys. Follow Frank Malcolm, a dedicated British officer, and Winifred Mayne, the niece of an important official, as their paths cross in the middle of the uprising. The story kicks off with rising tensions among the sepoys after a fight breaks out due to caste issues linked to the British military’s cartridges. As things get worse, Frank is introduced to the reader while performing his military duties and falling for Winifred. The beginning stages of this story are set just before conflicts occur as the sepoy rebellion ignites and a suspenseful and dramatic tone unfolds as the seeds of rebellion are sown.
