The Notorious Virtues introduces a world of glitz and glamour,
debauchery and decadence, where a deadly rivalry threatens to tear
the Holtzfall family apart. The younger generation must compete in
trials to determine who is most virtuous - and therefore most
worthy - of inheriting control of the family, their money, their
magic and their influence over the country. Born into privilege,
Honora Holtzfall has never wanted for anything until now. Lotte was
born with nothing-or so she thought. While Theo was raised to serve
a family for whom his loyalty is now being tested. And August knows
nothing in this world is going to be handed to him, unlike the
heiress he's becoming entangled with. But even as the Holtzfalls
wage their battles of privilege and power, virtue and vice,
something bigger and more sinister bubbles beneath the surface.
Behind closed doors, a revolution has begun . . .
Once, in the desert country of Miraji, there was a Sultan without an heir. The heir had been killed by his own brother, the treacherous Rebel Prince, who was consumed by jealousy and sought the throne for himself. Or so it was said by some. There were others who said that the Rebel Prince was not a traitor but a hero...
In the final battle for the throne, Amani must fight for everything she believes in, but with the rebellion in pieces, and the Sultan's armies advancing across the desert plains, who will lead, who will triumph, who will live and who will die?
The second installment of this highly-acclaimed trilogy, Traitor to
the Throne throws the irrepressible Amani into a world of
espionage, harems, and the Sultan himself. This is not about blood
or love. This is about treason. Nearly a year has passed since
Amani and the rebels won their epic battle at Fahali. Amani has
come into both her powers and her reputation as the Blue-Eyed
Bandit, and the Rebel Prince's message has spread across the desert
- and some might say out of control. But when a surprise encounter
turns into a brutal kidnapping, Amani finds herself betrayed in the
cruellest manner possible. Stripped of her powers and her identity,
and torn from the man she loves, Amani must return to her
desert-girl's instinct for survival. For the Sultan's palace is a
dangerous one, and the harem is a viper's nest of suspicion, fear
and intrigue. Just the right place for a spy to thrive... But
spying is a dangerous game, and when ghosts from Amani's past
emerge to haunt her, she begins to wonder if she can trust her own
treacherous heart. Praise for the series: 'Sheer escapism.'
