In this third chapter of the Mata Hari series, M’greet travels to the spiritual world of the East Indies where she becomes enthralled with the mystic dances, stirring music, exotic food, lively tropics, and a beautiful yet oppressed people. The austerity of the occupying European society, however, forbids her interaction with anyone deemed ‘inferior’, and the consequences are harshly dealt for her refusal to observe this practice. The life she had longed for in this mysterious world is dampened by rumors of her ethnicity, the brutality of her husband, the severity of a prejudiced culture, and a grief which cannot be recompensed. Yet despite these forces of man and nature which seek to tyrannize her, we see the foundations which birthed the great Mata Hari. As a seed dies to give life, so she must perish to her old ways in order to be born anew.
