Somewhere deep in Calcutta lies a sinister secret...
The Midnight Palace, which is set in Calcutta in the 1930s, opens on a gloomy night as an English officer battles to protect the newborn twins Ben and Sheere from an unbelievable peril. The young lieutenant succeeds in getting them to safety despite horrific peril hiding around every corner and monsoon-force storms, but not before losing his own life...
Many years later, on Ben and Sheere's sixteenth birthday eve, the enigmatic menace reappears in their life. It could be hard to get out this time. With the help of their brave friends, the twins will have to take a stand against the terror that watches them in the shadows of the night—and face the most frightening creature in the history of the City of Palaces.
