Harlequin meets Game of Thrones in this steamy, high-stakes fantasy romance. A MARRIAGE TREATY SEEMS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR THE SAFETY OF HER PEOPLE... BUT SHE'S IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. CAN SHE SACRIFICE THE ONLY THING SHE'S EVER WANTED? Zenobia, newly appointed Chief Lady of Tenoreth, is on a mission to save her people who have just survived a crippling natural disaster only to be attacked by rogue soldiers from a neighbouring nation. She travels for weeks with her companions--her trusted lieutenant and two giant magical cats--to the capital only to discover the King is an old friend and his closest advisor is her childhood crush. Negotiating a peace treaty is simp... all she needs do to keep her people safe is marry one of the King's noblemen. NOTHING HAS EVER MATTERED TO HIM MORE THAN THE KING'S SAFETY... UNTIL NOW. High Commander Andrew barely recognizes the wild little girl he once knew--she's turned into a powerful woman who stirs an irresistible yearning. There are a hundred reasons he can't have her. She's promised to marry a nobleman to secure an alliance between their nations, and Andrew, born a peasant and a bastard, will never be considered good enough. It doesn't matter anyway, because he's sworn a vow of celibacy in service of his best friend, and King. A DANGEROUS AFFAIR... When Andrew is tasked with Zenobia's safety during her stay, assassins, sacred religious practices, and impending civil war force them into each other's arms. Will his devotion to his code of ethics and her determination to save her people from ruin be enough for them to deny an attraction that would have disastrous and possibly fatal consequences? Reader Warning: This novel features plenty of steam and some brief gore/violence. Dark Themes throughout, but there is a HEA.

Judith Tarr returns to the always fascinating character of Alexander the Great in this fantasy novel that springs from the legend that the Queen of the Amazons came to meet him in Persia, and became his friend. Hippolyta was Penthesilea, or Queen of the Amazons. She ruled as war leader and high priestess of a scattered tribe of women warriors who had dwelt on the high plains to the north and east of Persia for time out of mind. They were not isolated---travelers came and went through their territory, bringing news from the west, and carrying tales of the warrior women back home with them. But the Queen had a great grief in her life: her daughter and heir was a strange child. The girl had been born, so the Priestesses said, without a soul. And it was true that she was like no other child alive. She did not speak, and often seemed not to even see the people around her. She could not dress or feed herself, but she could ride and hunt like no other woman of the tribe. Many of the Amazons believed that the child must never be Queen, but that was a problem for a later time--Hippolyta was young and strong. Selene, the niece of the tribe's Seer, was put in charge of the child, to be her nursemaid and guardian. And it was a good, though sometimes difficult, life for many turns of the years. But then one day news came from the West of a new Conqueror, a young man who came out of Macedon with a spirit like flame, intending to rule the whole world. The Queen's daughter responded to the tale as a woman in the desert would to the sound of falling water. That very night she stole out of the camp and rode west. Selene could not stop her, and so she must follow, praying that the Queen would understand. Hippolyta herself followed the next day, and so they rode together, controlled by the child's compulsion, until they had crossed the mountains and entered into Alexander's Empire, and under the sway of Alexander's powerful personality.
