Book description
Odalisque Ana is resigned to life in Percheron's famed harem and has
little more than a blood-soaked veil to remind her that Spur Lazar, the
man she loves, is dead. What's more, she is closely watched by the
scheming Grand Master Eunuch, Salmeo, and the cunning and cruel Valide
Herezah. The Valide, unhappy at Ana's influence over the young Zar,
contrives a shrewd plan to bring about the beautiful young woman's
demise. But greater forces are at work . . .
The demon Maliz has taken the guise of Percheron's Grand Vizier in order
to stalk Iridor, the traditional accomplice of the Goddess. And a war is
brewing. A long-time enemy, Galinsea, intends to exact a vicious blood
price for the death of its crown prince, Lucien, at the hands of the
Percherese.
And the only person in the Stone Palace who can undertake the dangerous
journey to Galinsea and negotiate for peace is about to die . . .
Fiona McIntosh was born in Brighton, and has lived in England, Ghana and
France. She currently resides in Adelaide, South Australia, with her
husband and two sons.
