Kail's seraglio has expanded by seven willful princesses, and Yuri is forced to take a firm stand to stop them from harassing her to death. But when the princesses start dropping dead, one after the other, all the evidence points to Yuri as the murderer! Yuri is sure Nakia's scheming--and will-sapping black water--is behind it, but she wonders if that's all that's driving the real culprit to commit these heinous crimes. How will Yuri uncover the truth and expose the perpetrator without casting even greater suspicion on herself? No library descriptions found. |

to whom all confusion is a cause of grief.
The sorrows which I see I lament before thee.
Incline thine ear unto my words of lamentation
and let thine heart be opened unto my sorrowful speech.*
Ishtar...Yuri...Yuri-Ishtar...she totally pwns those women for being two-faced cows who don't understand the true meaning of the world. They think they can best the woman who led armies to victory over the Egyptians? Over the Mittanni? Arrogant women with no brain in their heads.
Hey so welcome to another book! Yuri has accepted her place as Kail's concubine and is relishing the chance to be of use to him. Meanwhile Nakia is reminded how pitiful she is by the spectre of Queen Hinti (Kail's mother) being echoed in Kail's words. Sucks to be you lady.
Rusafa meanwhile is not thinking clearly at all That damned black water is the bane of existence. Seriously. There's only one romance that really gets to survive this series, from what I remember at least, and I promise you its not yours Rusafa.
And lest we think Nakia is softening, she delivers a very...intimidating lecture to Yuri about what it means to be a woman vying for a King's favor.
