Rung Ho! A Novel

In the sweltering streets of a bustling colonial city, a young woman named Rosemary McClean rides through a kaleidoscope of market stalls, prayer calls, and watchful crowds. Though the heat and hostile gazes threaten her, she carries a quiet resolve, determined to aid her father’s fight against an oppressive force that looms over the populace.

A striking, rose‑pink‑clad rider shadows her at every turn, his eyes fixed on her back with a mix of fascination and menace. Their uneasy dance through the maze of alleys hints at hidden motives and a fragile alliance that could shape Rosemary’s dangerous mission. As the city’s clamor rises, the listener is drawn into a world of clashing cultures, looming imperial power, and a young woman’s fierce courage in the face of uncertainty.
