Book Preview: "The Crescent"

Two women. Different backgrounds, different paths. One goal.

Nadja Korday is a young Russian immigrant plucked from her village by slave traders. Soon after she finds herself being trained in the arts of war, her skills with the sword honed for the sport of death that is the gladiator games.

Elizabeth Tor is a queen by marriage. She has found the mundane lifestyle of a prim and proper queen unsuitable to her free spirit. Liza longs to seek adventure, intrigue, and danger. Shielding her royal identity she takes it upon herself to compete in the games.

Through passion, pain, and trails of blood the women will come to face each other. They are a parallel of ability and a paradox of style, but there can be only one winner.

REVIEW

"I thought it was excellent. The story captivated me very much. Each of the characters was well developed and had real motivations for their behavior. The world in which they inhabited also felt very real and authentic."
