A STUDY OF DESTINY is a tale of adventure and the supernatural set in Egypt and India in the late 19th century. First published in 1898, during the height of British colonial power, it evokes the mystery and majesty of those ancient lands, and illustrates the tensions between those who rule and those who are ruled. Out of that tension a curse is born that haunts a man who must suffer for the sins of his parents.
