It was a night never to be forgotten. A night that would forever change two lives ... and the course of history. For two long years her father's tiny mountain kindom had withstood the conqueror's sweeping forces, but now the barbarians had stormed the milehigh citabel and the women cowered in fear. All but the one called Little Star. Famed as the most beautiful woman in all Persia, Roxanne had the courage of a fierce warrior and the training of a prince of her people. When she learned that slavery was not to be her lot, but a brilliant political alliance, she vowed to await her bridegroom with her snarling leopard at her side and silken seduction at her fingertips. For she was no plaything, but more that a match for any man, even ... Alexander the Great.

This is a historical romance. The author has a rather flimsy idea about facts so if you are interested in "history" or if you are a serious scholar that studies Alexander the Great, this book isn't for you.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand if you are looking for something fan and adventurous with beautiful women, battles and intrigue then this is your kind of book.
