Romance Historical
In A Singular Hostage and A Beggar at the Gate, Thalassa
Ali introduced us to the lush, intriguing world of
nineteenth-century British India - and to Mariana Givens, a
brave, beautiful Englishwoman. Now, as vengeful Afghan
tribesmen close in, Mariana must face the repercussions of
her marriage to a Punjabi Muslim, and choose between the
people she calls her own - and the life that owns her heart. Mariana Givens aches to return to the rose-scented city of
Lahore, home of Hassan Ali Khan, the Muslim stranger she
has come to love, his mystical family, and his prescient
little son. But her own reckless behavior has sent her into
exile at the British cantonment near Kabul, on the eve of
the First Afghan War. There, she embarks on a dangerous
double life, pretending to be a proper young Victorian lady
while secretly traveling Kabul's violent, fascinating
streets to visit the Sufi seer who possesses the answers
she needs. But the mystic's help comes with a price, and her family
wants her to marry a British officer. As Afghanistan
descends into violence and her hopes of rescue fade,
Mariana must make a fateful decision: can she abandon her
old life and allow herself to be drawn toward her destiny -
whatever it may be?
