Ellis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the 1857 Indian Rebellion, focusing on American characters who find themselves in perilous circumstances as the mutiny unfurls. The primary characters introduced are Dr. Hugh Marlowe, his daughter Mary, and their friend Jack Everson, who are faced with treacherous situations involving hostile natives and the chaos of rebellion. The opening of the novel establishes a sense of impending danger with the unfolding of the Indian uprising, depicting the political climate of the time and the motivations behind it. We meet Dr. Marlowe and his daughter living in India, as they prepare for the arrival of Jack Everson. Their idyllic life is abruptly overshadowed by warnings of an imminent insurrection, leading to a hasty and perilous flight through the jungle. Tension escalates as Ghoojurs (a notorious band of brigands) approach their home, prompting the characters to defend themselves amidst dramatic confrontations, setting the stage for an intense adventure filled with danger and survival.
