โฆ Synopsis
Monsoon continues the story begun in Birds of Prey. Set in the dawn of the eighteenth century in England, East Africa, and Arabia, it relates the lives and loves of the three sons of Hal Courtney. At the farthest edges of the known world, the mighty East India Trading Company suffers catastrophic losses at the hands of pirates on the high seas. Master mariner Sir Hal Courtney, after four years away from service, prepares for his latest and most dangerous voyage - a death or glory mission in the name of the crown. But Hal must also think about the fate of his three sons. Like their father before them, Tom, Dorian, and Guy are drawn inexorably to Africa. When fate decrees that they must all leave England forever, they set sail for the dark and unexplored continent, seduced by the allure and mystery of this new, magnificent, but savage land.
