The second book Ive read by Fiona Mcintosh, and it wont be the last.
It brings you to somewhere mythical, yet very real, to the days when Kings were Kings, and their every word was law, to the beautiful Anna, who is young, very beautiful , and desired by many, yet loves only one.
Fiona has the ability of bringing the reader to places deep within her mind, while at the same time entertaining us with tales of loyalty and lust, of scheming Eunuchs, with their own agenda, and a Hareem mistress determined to hang on to whatever vestage of power she can hang on to!
A book to look forward to coming home to!
