He was a prince. A rebel. A ghost beneath the sea.
Before he became the myth of Captain Nemo, he was Prince Dakkar of Bundelkhand-an Indian royal who lost everything in the 1857 Rebellion against British rule. Betrayed by empire and shattered by grief, he vanished from the surface world and returned as something new: the commander of the Nautilus, a marvel of science and a weapon of silent war.
This powerful new adaptation of Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and The Mysterious Island restores Nemo's true identity as an anti-colonial revolutionary. Follow him across coral graveyards and polar ice, through sabotage and sanctuary, as he leads a multinational crew of outcasts in his resistance against imperial navies. But even in the deep, the past cannot remain buried.
In his final days, marooned on a remote island, Captain Nemo reveals his secrets to a group of castaways-and reunites with a long-lost mentor who helped shape his destiny.
Beautifully reimagined by Alana Devi, this is a story of exile, science, legacy, and defiance. A forgotten prince rises again to reclaim his name.
