★ History:Raymond Leigh Winter was born in 1897 to Horace and Anna Winters. At the age of eleven, in the year 1908, three years after his mother's death, Raymond was put in as a cadet at the East India Company Military Seminary in Woolwich by Andrew Hammond Winters and his new bride. After an initial brilliant career as a cadet in Sir Stuart Strange's regiment, during which he excelled in all disciplines, in 1913 he began his insubordination towards the officers. According to Benjamin Wilton's researchers, Raymond "set ablaze of a Navy boat in an experiment with oil and mashed potatoes while drunk. And a fight with a bear in Chancery Lane, a rebellion against the cooks for bad custard, started by him, and he raved about fortunes and hidden treasures. He tried to recruit other boys to go down the river to India, to trade with Red Indians, to take gold from the Aztecs. Finally, in the year of our Lord 1915, he took himself off to Africa only to be drawn to the fights followed by the world war" John Pettifer added further details during an East India Company conversation, revealing that "According to charter records, he went to Cabinda aboard a ship called Cornwallis, then boarded a ship called the Influence, bound for Antigua. It was a slave ship. It sank off the Gold Coast, and it was assumed Delaney was dead.
Believed to be long dead, he returns home to London from Africa to inherit what is left of his father’s shipping empire and rebuild a life for himself. But his father’s legacy is a poisoned chalice, and with enemies lurking in every dark corner, Raymond must navigate increasingly complex territories to avoid his own death sentence. Encircled by conspiracy, murder, and betrayal, a dark family mystery unfolds in a combustible tale of love and treachery.
