    Summary

    In the golden heart of Ancient Egypt, one glance could bind a Pharaoh’s soul.

    Pharaoh Adar has no taste for the slave markets paraded before his throne. He seeks not a concubine, but a queen—someone he can connect with on a deeper level. When a group of captives arrives, Adar means to choose none… until she steps forward.

    Ghash, a Celtic woman torn from her homeland, speaks his language with the poise of a court scholar and dances with the wild, untamed grace of distant shores. In her, Adar sees not a servant—but a mystery he is determined to unravel. His decision ignites the quiet wrath of Mairon, the high priest whose honeyed words hide the sharp edge of betrayal.

    Drawn together by curiosity and forbidden longing, Adar and Ghash’s bond deepens. But in a palace where every smile conceals a dagger, love may be the most dangerous gamble of all—especially with Mairon’s shadow lurking behind every silken curtain.
