From a stellar talent comes another scorchingly sensual novel. The Goddesses have had it with the Trojan War. So much devastation—all because of some silly male egos. The worst of the bunch is that cocky, handsome brute Achilles. But the only way to stop a man like Achilles is to distract him with something far more pleasurable than combat.
Enter Kat, a modern girl from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Goddesses transform her into a Trojan princess, having no doubt that she'll capture Achilles's attention. But can her independent spirit match the unquenchable fire of his epic rage? Goddess only knows!
The Palace of Illusions takes us on a mesmerizing journey back to a time that is half history, half myth, and wholly magical. This novel is a reimagining of the world-famous Indian epic, the Mahabharata, told from the unique perspective of a remarkable woman.
Panchaali, the fire-born heroine and wife of the five legendary Pandava brothers, narrates her own story. She chronicles the challenges of balancing her life as a woman with five husbands who have been unjustly deprived of their father's kingdom. Her life is a spirited balancing act, as she stands by her husbands during their quest to reclaim their birthright, enduring years of exile and a devastating civil war involving all the significant kings of India.
The novel paints an intricate picture of Panchaali's strategic duels with her formidable mother-in-law, her complex friendship with the enigmatic Krishna, and her secret attraction to the mysterious man who is her husbands' most dangerous enemy. Through it all, Panchaali emerges as a fiery and resilient female figure, redefining the world of warriors, gods, and the ever-manipulating hands of fate.
