Samsara
An Exotic Saga of Forbidden Love and Imperial Ambition on the Grandest Scale
Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Samsara is set in Tibet in the late nineteenth century, an untamed and mysterious land. Lhasa, the residence of the Dalai Lama, is a forbidden city where death awaits any foreigner who dares enter its sacred walls. For the British and Russian empires, Tibet has become a strategically vital country to conquer. Into this turbulent realm come two young people, drawn together by deep emotions yet torn apart by conflicting loyalties. Lewis Joyden is a handsome Englishman who travels disguised as a Buddhist monk to survey the land in preparation for a British invasion. Sonya Vremya is a fiercely independent Russian princess on a quest to find her brother, who has vanished while on a mission from the Tsar, and to track down her unloving husband to beg for a divorce. Though separated by national conflicts, they face the dangers and uncertainties of a strange and magical country, drawing ever closer amid the perils that threaten them.
