| Summary | "The Missionary: An Indian Tale; vol. II" by Lady Morgan is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around a Christian missionary, Hilarion, who grapples with his faith and the complexities of love as he becomes intertwined with Luxima, a devoted Indian priestess. Their relationship is strained by cultural tensions and the conflicting demands of their respective spiritual beliefs. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist experiences emotional turmoil as he contemplates his feelings for Luxima while feeling the weight of his religious duties. He strives to convert her from her Hindu faith while struggling with a growing attachment that challenges his vow of celibacy. The tension escalates when Luxima expresses her deep connection to him, leading to a dangerous intersection of love and faith as external threats loom in the form of a rival, the Mogul prince Solyman Sheko. The opening sets a tone of introspection, exploring themes of passion, spirituality, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals caught between conflicting worlds.
