About The Book: The Cobra Diamond by Arthur Lillie, in three volumes, follows a young dragoon who inherits the mysterious Cobra Diamond, a gem linked to an ancient Indian curse. In Volume I, he uncovers the jewel's tragic legacy and becomes entangled in its dark allure. Volume II explores the deepening curse as it disrupts his relationships and moral compass, revealing the destructive consequences of greed and ambition. In Volume III, he confronts the curse’s full force, facing betrayal, supernatural forces, and eventual redemption. The trilogy combines romance, mystery, and the occult, offering a cautionary tale about the dangers of forbidden power and desire. About The Author: Arthur Lillie (1831–1911) was a British soldier, Buddhist, and prolific writer known for his unorthodox religious theories and cross-cultural analyses. He explored connections between Eastern and Western spiritual traditions, especially the influence of Buddhism on early Christianity. His key works, such as Buddhism in Christendom and The Influence of Buddhism on Primitive Christianity, argue that Jesus and early Christians adopted Buddhist ideas, particularly through the Essenes. Lillie also critiqued Theosophy and examined Indian epics' impact on Western literature. His writings, though controversial and speculative, reflect 19th-century interest in comparative religion, mysticism, and the blending of Eastern and Western thought.
