Her exquisite beauty and brilliant mind were not enough to free
her from captivity. That took her skills with a knife, plus the
power of a goddess.
She was born in poverty, in a dusty village under the equatorial
sun. She does not remember her mother, she does not remember her
own name--her earliest clear memory is of the day her father sold
her to the tall pale man. In the Court of the Pomegranate Tree,
where she was taught the ways of a courtesan...and the skills of an
assassin...she was named Emerald, the precious jewel of the Undying
Duke's collection of beauties. She calls herself Green.
The world she inhabits is one of political power and magic, where
Gods meddle in the affairs of mortals. At the center of it is the
immortal Duke's city of Copper Downs, which controls all the trade
on the Storm Sea. Green has made many enemies, and some secret
friends, and she has become a very dangerous woman indeed.
Acclaimed author Jay Lake has created a remarkable character in
Green, and evokes a remarkable world in this novel. Green and her
struggle to survive and find her own past will live in the reader's
mind a long time after the book is closed.
