Queen of Sorrows

Sons of Rome, #3

Queen of Sorrows, the third offering in R.R. Morgan's Sons of Rome series, finds Tamara in the lush, Parthian kingdom of Hyrcania, her royal title and birthright reclaimed, and all the riches of the world laid at her feet. Unfortunately, she soon discovers that power and wealth do not guarantee autonomy or happiness.

Betrothed to a prince she's never met, shunned by her forbears, and having lost all knowledge of her native language and ways, Tamara has nothing left to cling to but her all consuming desire for revenge, which she nourishes in secret behind a contented, amiable facade.

Finally, she has all the power and resources she needs to carry out her sanguinary schemes, but duty and tradition tie her hands, and she must chose to either accept her new existence, or decimate friends and foes alike in order to achieve her ends. Blinded by hate, she'll ignore every warning, every omen, and even her own inner voice, just to get back to the very place she had long hoped to escape: Rome.

The emotional intensity runs high, and the consequences grow increasingly perilous and far-reaching in this third entry, as the former slave girl transforms herself into a skilled killer, diligent scholar, and sexually liberated being. This is R.R. Morgan's brutal, poetic, erotic best. This one, changes everything.
