Branded a seeress and sold into slavery by her family, Valdis finds herself in the strange land of Constantinople, so different from her beloved homeland of Scandinavia. She will do anything for her freedom, and to win that freedom, she has to have courage -- she has to live.

Valdis is forced into the harem of Damian Aristarchus, who plans to use her special powers toward his own end, but there are conditions. For his plans to succeed, Valdis must learn Damian's language, remain chaste and pure and convince others that her revelations come from a higher power.

Erik Heimdalson has made a new home in Miklagard for personal reasons. He is sent to Damian's harem to teach and tame a willful woman. Valdis is the unique woman with the mismatched eyes, who caught his attention when she was on the auction block. Erik becomes her teacher and often fantasizes about stealing her away and whisking her out of the city. Is it too much for an exiled man to hope for? Erik would love to give Valdis the promise of freedom, but the most he can offer her is hope.

Valdis' dreams are coming more often and darker each time. She envisions the death of the one man who can help her escape, the one man who's captured her heart, the only man who can give her SILK DREAMS.

Diana Groe delivers a uniquely different story that captivates, fascinates and ingratiates us into a new and mysterious world. We are buried deep in the interior of a harem, experiencing the sights, sounds and smells of a private existence with very few freedoms. SILK DREAMS is an epic saga, rich in historical detail that will steal your heart.
