Set in the Greek Island of Rhodes, this historical novel is set right between the Old and New Testament. Tessa of Delos, an ancient-day escort and enslaved by the powerful politician Glaucus finds herself in the precarious position of trying to cover up his accidental death. She meets Nikos, a slave who has the ability to turn her stone heart into a living one and unravel her feelings. She finds a friend in Simeon, a kind Jewish head servant who seems to know about a kind of freedom she has never heard of. Surrounded by powerful men, can she out-plot them to cheat her destiny and change her future?
Greek history is a fascinating topic in itself, but when coupled with Tracey Higley's writing abilities and insights, it is a great read. A few twists and turns makes for some suspense, but I liked the characters and their heart journey's the best. I even stayed up late to read the ending, I really needed to know what would happen to Tessa!
Another one of Higley's books (which I liked even better) is called Garden of Madness, http://simplychangingchapters.blogspot.ca/2012/03/garden-of-madness-by-tracy-l-higley.html I have to say I am becoming a fan of her work!
I received this book for free from BookSneeze contingent on a non-biased review.
