An epic fantasy by acclaimed author Sherryl Jordan, 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, Elowen’s 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. A compelling story with themes about oppression, racism, gender equality … love and loyalty. Sherryl Jordan’s descriptive writing is superb – evoking the sights, smells and sounds of the bazaars and palace life of a distant time.
