Solomon's Bride is the dramatic sequel to The Grip of God. Sofia,
the heroine, a former princess from Kievan Rus' was enslaved by a
Mongol nobleman and then taken as a concubine by the leader of the
Mongol invasions, Batu Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan. Now, having
fled the Mongols with a price on her head, Sofia escapes into
Persia and what she believes will be safety, only to fall into the
clutches of the Assassins, who seek to disrupt the Mongol empire.
In a world at war, both outer and inner, the second phase of her
adventures unfolds. Can she ever find safe haven, much less the
lost love and family that was almost destroyed by the Mongols?
The Grip of God is the first novel in an epic historical trilogy,
The Tiger and the Dove. Set in the thirteenth century, its heroine,
Sofia, is a young princess of Kievan Rus. She begins her story by
recounting her capture in battle and life of slavery to a young
army captain in the Mongol armies that are flooding Europe. Not
only is her life shattered, it is threatened by the bitter
rivalries in her new master's powerful family, and shadowed by the
leader of the Mongol invasion, Batu Khan, Genghis Khan's grandson.
How will she learn to survive in a world of total war, much less
rediscover the love she once took for granted? Always seeking to
escape and menaced by outer enemies and inner turmoil, where can
she find safe haven even if she can break free? Clear eyed and
intelligent, Sofia could be a character from The Game of Thrones,
but she refuses to believe that life is solely about the strong
dominating the weak or about taking endless revenge. Her story is
based on actual historical events, which haunt her destiny. Like an
intelligent Forrest Gump, she reflects her times. But as she
matures, she learns to reflect on them as well, and to transcend
their fetters. In doing so, she recreates a lost era for us, her
readers.
