The Warden of the Marches

"The Warden of the Marches" by Sydney C. Grier is a historical story set in British-controlled Khemistan, where Major Dick North, along with his wife, Georgia, and sister, Mabel, find themselves entangled in a web of personal lives and political issues in a frontier community. It looks at tensions between British officials and local citizens in a colonial land. Mabel's sudden visit hints at secrets and political tensions made worse by the return of local leaders to power. Set against a backdrop of unrest on the border and historical references, the story builds tension, and promises dramatic revelations about character relationships.
