A chance encounter leads to an invitation to the Palace. This story is a mixture of 1001 Arabian Nights and the Prisoner of Zenda. Hidden passages, intrigue, and - of course - the harem.
A little historical piece that’s shamelessly historically inaccurate (it would have even Robert E Howard shuddering in his grave coz I sat here with a pile of his books in front of me looking at the style he wrote in and just murdering it altho then again, Howard was pretty good at murdering history himself so maybe he’d just laugh. Wherever he is, I hope he enjoys this and RIP, dude. You were one of the best!). Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy the story - it was a lot of fun to write. / (Reviews)

This story was written at the request of my editor, Denny Wheeler. Like me, Denny is a fan of the brilliant 'Brother Cadfael' novels of the late Ellis Peters. He asked me to write a story about Cadfael's adventures before he became a monk. This is the result.
It is primarily a mystery story with very little sex. If you like that sort of thing - read on!
If you're looking for lots of hot action and dirty words - don't bother!!!
