Synopsis

Growing up during the centuries-long conflict between the empires of Egypt and Hatti, the young princess Istara is taken hostage by the King of Hatti to secure the loyalty of her father, the King of Kadesh to the empire. Soon her new life in Hatti's glittering capital becomes all she knows. Bound in blood before the gods to Hatti's unwilling crown prince, Istara, now Hatti's queen-in-waiting, learns she will never be loved.
But the drums of war beat again, and when the scheming plans of Hatti's king threaten the existence of all civilization, the gods give Istara a choice: to leave behind everything she knows to save mankind, or remain where she is, powerless, a token on the game board of kings. On the brink of one of the most brutal battles in history, she chooses to risk her life to deliver a message to the only man able to prevent the prophecy from becoming a reality - her mortal enemy, the Pharaoh Ramesses II.
Wounded, cold and hungry, she wanders in the battle's horrific aftermath, and aids a powerful commander, who she learns protected her once, and has been bound to her ever since by a prophetic dream of his future. Despite his resistance, and Istara once more becoming a pawn of kings, they must confront an eternal love so powerful, not even kings, the gods, or death can keep them apart.
The Lost Valor of Love is the first book of the Transcendence series.

This novel is epic in the very best sense: love that crosses empires, betrayal that change the lives of millions, and all of it played out under the eyes of gods whose fates are tied in with those of the mortals at the heart of the story. Even though there are big themes and big battles here, you ne......more

The first thing I thought after finishing this book was WOW. Then words like SCINTILLATING, SWEEPING, EPIC, and LUSH came to mind. 😁 The research alone that went into the writing of this book blew my mind. If you want to time travel back to Ancient Egypt, this is your ticket. I loved the historical......more

Holy world, this book. I expected to like the book since I’ve heard great things about the author. I did not expect it to break my heart on so many levels, making me cry and finally laugh a little at the end. Let’s begin with the writing, because it is superb! The author uses such a poetic language, a......more
