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.
Forced into a harem in Constantinople’s strange land of
flashing swords and swirling silks, spicy aromas and hot
breezes that feel like a lover’s breath, Valdis is utterly
lost. Her family cast her away for seeing portents of the
future, and now her visions are turning even more ominous:
They foretell the death of the one man who could help her
escape, an exiled Viking who braves the wrath of a kingdom
to awaken her passion one sinful pleasure at a time. To
save him, Valdis must play a high-stakes game of power and
seduction that will either get her killed or finally allow
her and her love to live their silk dreams.
