THE
GLITTERING
STRAND
Judith
Lennox
From
the
back
cover
of
the
book:
vVivid
with
silks
and
heady
with
spices,
shadowed
by
shifting
alliances
and
lit
by
daggers
glittering
in
the
dark,
the
Levant
trade
of
the
1590s
offers
wealth
and
danger
in
equal
measure.
And,
always,
dreams...
A
dream
for
Serafina
Guardi,
captured
by
corsairs
and
sold
into
slavery
en
route
to
her
profitable
betrothal,
struggling
with
the
intrigues
of
the
Italian
cloth
trade
to
reclaim
her
heritage
-
and
avenge
herself.
And
for
Thomas
Marlowe,
the
English
pilot
wrecked
on
the
Barbary
Coast,
who
longs
for
a
ship
such
as
the
Mediterranean
has
never
seen
and
wider
seas
to
sail
her
in.
Chance
and
treachery
conspire
against
their
hopes
while
irretrievably
entangling
their
fates.
There
will
be
long,
hard
years
before
either
Serafina
or
Thomas
comes
near
to
their
dream
-
only
to
find
the
dream
is
no
longer
the
same.....
