They've come a long way since Betty, Alice, and Cammie set off to Windsholme to open their own brothel. The plan was always for them to each branch out into their own place, and now Betty has saved what she thinks she needs to set forth on that venture. She has no idea that she's about to walk into one whore's town, and it's not big enough for the both of them. ( Pseudo-sequel to Lowborn )
304 AD. Roman princess Valeria is kidnapped as a toddler by a Chinese spy—but instead of delivering her to chaos, he raises her as his own. Trained in three cultures, three languages, and the art of playing empires against each other, Valeria builds an impossible kingdom in the Hindu Kush mountains. Negotiating with Constantine, taming a cocky Gupta prince, and transforming kidnapping into power, she carves out a piece of life entirely her own.

Enjoy, Paris Waterman / (Reviews)
