WOW!!!Loved this story. This is the continuation from Pharaoh's Desire. Ayana is the daughter of Pharaoh Amonmose and his wife Kama. She is beautiful, intelligent, strong willed and outspoken. These traits were not always appreciated especially by men of that era. Women were expected to be docile and subservient.Ayana is on her way to meet a potential husband that her father deems a good match as the union would help to strengthen Egypt's power. Her pleasure boat is attacked and she is taken prisoner along with her grandmother Mutema and her ladies-in-waiting. They are taken to the Nubian capital city of Kerma. The women have made a promise that Ayana's identity would not be revealed as this could possibly make their imprisonment more difficult. Ayana could be used as a pawn by the Nubians to make difficult demands of the Pharaoh. There plan was to escape when the opportunity presented itself.Prince Bakari has claimed Ayana as his but she has vigorously voiced her displeasure. As a result she is punished by being locked away in a birds cage with no water and very little food. Bakari is known to be cruel and evil and Ayana has cause to be fearful. Prince Samir is the opposite of his brother. He is kind, gentle and wise and easy on the eyes. He comes to Ayana's rescue by releasing her from the cage. Samir is so tired of his brothes's cruelty. He then requests from his father King Taji that she be given to him. This is granted by the King which angers Bakari to no end. As the eldest son, Bakari was used to having his way. LET THE DRAMA AND INTRIGUE BEGIN!Prince Samir is attracted to Ayana's beauty as well as her sharp tongue but is determined to ignore the attraction. He has no trust in women due to being deceived by one who he planned on marrying. He thought all women were deceitful. Well destiny has other plans for Samir and Ayana. This is as must read. This story has drama, intrigue, murder, betrayal, loyalty, adventure, love and romance. The characters are developed and the story flows. Another WINNER for sure by Chanta Rand. HAPPY READING!!!
