In 1883, Andreas Jørgensen, a Danish naval cadet dropout, accepts a mysterious offer from Sir Godfrey Boleyn, a British archeologist in the service of the Survey of India. His mission is to pilot an airship over Afghanistan in search of Alexander the Great’s lost city of Alexandria Oxiana. 

As the airship soars over the uncharted territory of the Pamir Mountains, Andreas and the crew are thrust into the heart of the “Great Game,” the Cold War between the British and the Russian Empires. Their survival and the fate of the expedition could alter the balance of great powers.
