Title: The Gilded Chamber
Description: "Orphaned and terrified, Esther journeys across the River Tigris to start a new life with her cousin - a man well positioned in the court, and to whom she is betrothed. Her transformation from girl to woman unfolds against a lavish backdrop of the royal court and harem, rife with intrigue and daring alliances. Esther wins much of what she seeks: the heart of a king, and the deliverance of her people. But her rise to the role of queen is not without a price; she must turn her back on all that she ever wanted, and give her body to a man she can never love."--BOOK JACKET.
