THE WRATH OF THE NAGA
The future of an empire rests in the hands of a peasant girl and her mother.
In a tiny farming village, one of the Khmer king’s bodyguards is enjoying a day off with her family when the invading Siamese army charges through, killing, burning and taking captives for the slave trade. She is captured while her mother escapes. This sweeping saga follows the fortunes of these two women as one is taken north in the slave caravans and the other is trapped in the centre of a burning city, only to find, when the flames die down, that almost the entire population is gone.
Can they survive the ravages of Siam and the death-throes of an empire?
Brimming with sex and violence, humour and tragedy, love and betrayal, greed and revenge, this fast-paced epic is set amidst the true historical events that changed south-east Asia forever and left us the magnificent ruins of Angkor as well as the present capital of Phnom Penh.
