Please join Rebecca Hazell as she tours the blogosphere for the Tiger and the Dove trilogy Book Blast, from December 1 - 14, and be entered to win all three books in the trilogy!
The Grip of God (Book One)
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.
Solomon's Bride (Book Two)
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?
Consolamentum (Book Three)
In the finale of Sofia's memoir, Consolamentum, both dramatic and
poignant, her dreams of home are shattered when her own family betrays
her. Raising her child on her own, mourning the loss of her beloved
knight, and building a trading empire, she seeks safe haven for her
child and herself. Her quest takes her from Antioch to Constantinople to
Venice. A surprise reunion in Venice leads her to France where she runs
afoul of the newly established Holy Inquisition, possibly the greatest
challenge she has yet faced. Can a woman so marked by oppression,
betrayal, and danger ever find her safe haven, much less genuine
happiness?
