Local Description

Helen's Review - Elowen is taken by pirates from her island home & sold as a slave to a king who loves her singing. Despite being treated well, she longs for homes & vows to find her lost brother. This is a superb story with a true heroine who is brave & stands up for what is right, even while facing desperate hardships.

Description

An epic fantasy set in a land of sultans and kings, sumptuous palaces... and slave markets. When Elowen and her brother are seized by pirates and sold, separately, in the slave market of a distant land, her enduring resolve is to escape, rescue her brother and return home. Sold to a desert ruler who admires her sublime voice, Elowen is given the title of the King's Nightingale. Honoured by the king, and loved by his scribe, Elowen lives a life of luxury, until she makes a fateful mistake and finds herself sold to a less charitable master.
