Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Spanning deserts, caravan cities, and the courts of kings, The Saffron Veil is a sweeping historical novel of survival, love, and destiny.Abandoned as an infant beside a fountain on a winter night and wrapped in a bolt of saffron silk, Zarina is rescued by a traveling merchant and raised am…ong spices, dyes, and the whispered routes of the Silk Road. When betrayal destroys her first home, she disguises herself as a boy and joins a caravan that crosses Central Asia and Persia, braving kidnappers, sandstorms, and treacherous mountain passes.In Venice she reinvents herself amid masks and marble palaces, only to be summoned back east by a summons of blood and fate. From the turquoise domes of Sultaniyya to the blue-lantern nights of Samarkand, Zarina negotiates politics and passion-trading silk and secrets, outwitting rival courts, and shaping alliances that span empires.As she rises to become the Great Saffron Queen, Zarina rules with uncommon vision: uniting caravans and faiths, creating orphan gardens, and turning trade routes into pathways of peace. Yet even her luminous reign cannot forestall the "slow fire within that no herb can cool." Facing her final illness with unshaken grace, she places her daughter Sofia on the throne, leaving behind the saffron veil that becomes both her shroud and her enduring symbol.Richly woven with the textures of 15th-century Persia, Central Asia, and the Mediterranean-caravanserais and spice markets, secret gardens and mirrored halls-The Saffron Veil blends romance, intrigue, and cross-cultural adventure.For readers of Amin Maalouf's Samarkand, Philippa Gregory's The Other Boleyn Girl, Indu Sundaresan's The Twentieth Wife, Kate Furnivall's The Russian Concubine, and Margaret Rosenthal's The Honest Courtesan (the inspiration for Dangerous Beauty), this novel offers the same intoxicating mix of vivid setting, political drama, and the triumph of a singular woman who reshapes her world.At once a love story, a merchant's chronicle, and a meditation on identity and destiny, The Saffron Veil invites readers to breathe the mingled aromas of spice and desert wind and to follow a heroine whose courage and grace will outlive dynasties.
