Asoka’s Alibi

Ben Quorn can handle a charging elephant. Surviving a city full of conspirators will take a different kind of nerve.
An American far from home, Quorn has found his calling among the royal elephants of Narada. His greatest challenge is Asoka: enormous, unpredictable, and fiercely attached to the one man who can control him. But when a carnival performance ends in death, their extraordinary bond becomes a weapon in a ruthless struggle for power.
Behind the celebrations, influential priests are plotting against a young ruler determined to change her kingdom. Their most dangerous ally is Maraj, a cunning killer whose methods leave his enemies terrified—and the authorities powerless. Drawn into the conspiracy, Quorn must protect Asoka, outwit an assassin, and navigate alliances that can turn deadly without warning.
Packed with palace intrigue, daring escapes, sharp humour, and explosive confrontations, Asoka’s Alibi is an action-adventure thriller set in India, where quick thinking and an unlikely partnership stand against a murderous conspiracy.
