Edwards' vivid descriptions of the ancient ruins, bustling markets, and treacherous desert landscapes bring the setting to life, while her dynamic characters and fast-paced plot keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.The snow was now some fourteen inches deep upon the ground, and still falling in such thick flakes as made it impossible to see twenty yards ahead. The gloomy pine-trees closed round our steps in every direction, thick-set, uniform, endless. Except the broad chauss�����e, down which the artillery was lumbering slowly and noiselessly, no paths or side-tracks were distinguishable. Below, all was white and dazzling; above, where the wide-spreading pine-branches roofed out the leaden sky, all was dark and oppressive.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
