Daughter of Persia

In the Third Century BCE, Rome is at war with Persia. Villages are burned and ravaged. Aisha, a young noble woman in the safe haven of Persepolis, finds herself in the midst of battle as a prisoner of Rome, her fate dangling in the hands of a Roman soldier. In this first volume, Aisha waits in the confines of her home for her husband's return from battle. She is left in the care of her stepmother and handmaiden, who help prepare her for marriage, before serving the goddess.
