Historical
In his international bestseller Beneath a Marble
Sky, John Shors wrote about the ancient passion, beauty,
and brilliance that inspired the building of the Taj
Mahal. Now with Temple of a Thousand Faces, he brings
to life the legendary temple of Angkor Wat, an unrivaled
marvel of ornately carved towers and stone statues. There,
in a story set nearly a thousand years ago, an empire is
lost, a royal love is tested, and heroism is
reborn.
When his land is taken by force, Prince
Jayavar of the Khmer people narrowly escapes death at the
hands of the conquering Cham king, Indravarman. Exiled from
their homeland, he and his mystical wife Ajadevi set up a
secret camp in the jungle with the intention of amassing an
army bold enough to reclaim their kingdom and free their
people. Meanwhile, Indravarman rules with an iron fist,
pitting even his most trusted men against each
other and quashing any hint of rebellion.
Moving
from a poor fisherman's family whose sons find the courage
to take up arms against their oppressors, to a beautiful
bride who becomes a prize of war, to an ambitious warrior
whose allegiance is torn--Temple of a Thousand Faces
is an unforgettable saga of love, betrayal, and survival at
any cost.
