"The book provides an insight into the lives of Mirza Khusro Beg, a scion of a princely family of Georgia, and Fareedun, whose father was a nobleman from the ancient ruling tribe of Saqqez. Both were from the Caucasus, and were very young when fate intervened to uproot them from their homeland, and bring them to the deserts of Sindh thousands of miles away. In 1805, when Khusro was seventeen, he was brought to Hyderabad and adopted by Mir Karam Ali Khan Talpur, the ruler of Sindh. Some years later, Fareedun, also an orphan, joined Khusro in Hyderabad, eventually to become his son-in-law." "Meherafroze Habib also traces the historical background that led to the migration of the author's ancestors from Georgia to Sindh during the early 1800s, and recreates the era of domestic feudal revolts, the rapidly changing montage of conquerors, and the imposition of foreign rule by rival imperial powers in Georgia. The second half of the book focuses on Khusro's life as a young man and his relationship with the Mirs of Sindh, and continues with the family history until the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.

The first volume in Plaidy's Georgian saga. True love never ran smoothly for the beautiful Sophia Dorothea, darling of Celle, who first lost her heart to Philip Königsmarck on her seventh birthday. At sixteen, a pawn in seventeenth-century German politics, she was forced into marriage with George Lewis, Crown Prince of Hanover and the future George I of England, who cared only for women and war. Clara von Platen, the uncrowned ruler of Hanover, jealous, ruthless and sexually insatiable, is spurned by Königsmarck when he re-appears in the life of Sophia Dorothea. In revenge, she plans his ruin-and that of the sad princess he so recklessly loves...

The last book in this magnificent Georgian saga. It was necessary for the Prince of Wales to marry, and his victim was the unconventional Caroline of Brunswick. Caroline, already plagued by scandals in her personal life, would rather have married a Major in her father's army but this was not to be. Arriving in England she finds her bridegroom's mistress waiting to undermine her position and to spy on her. The Prince is determined to hate her, and humiliates her at every possible occasion even after she has given him a daughter. Meanwhile, her generous nature wins over the love of the people, leading her husband to resent her even more. Even her new family, with the exception of the half-mad king, offers her no support. Caroline becomes more independent and excessively extravagant as she tries to negotiate the traps laid out for her by a hostile court. Eventually she leaves, and much to the delight of social gossips continues to provide them with scandals and amusements long after the dust of her time at court has settled.

Highly recommended! — Fiona Ingram, Readers’ Favorite 5 STAR MEDAL WINNER Lucinda Brant fully immerses the reader in the world of Georgian England, keeping you turning pages, or listening late into the night as the case may be.

The fifth book in the Georgian series. George III was certain that the shadowy charm of Hannah, the vital beauty of Sarah, would cease to torment him once he was married to Charlotte. But Charlotte was unexciting, and he could not help his heart beating faster every time he saw a beautiful woman. Surrounded by the great and the notorious, the King was beset by political anxieties, humiliated by the loss of the American colonies, and distressed at the scandals in the royal family. The King’s sister was tried for treason and adultery, but the greatest scandal of all was created by his eldest son-the handsome, willful, pleasure-seeking Prince of Wales...

One of the county's most widely read novelists brings us scandalous Prince Charming - George, Prince of Wales ... George III, fighting madness and the loss of the American colonies, has a domestic crisis as well. The 17-year-old Prince of Wales, fighting the puritanical decorum of his parents' court, is about to begin his career of womanizing, gambling and consorting with the king's political enemies. At the Drury Lane Theatre, the prince is enchanted by popular actress Mary Robinson in the role of Perdita in A Winter's Tale. Although she is older, married and a mother, the Prince sets her up as his mistress. Mary has had many adventures, and is not averse to the attentions of the young price despite much opposition from those around them. Like most royal scandals however, the affair doesn’t last. George has no notion of fidelity and soon loses interest in her, but she won’t let him escape without a fight. The affair is used to advantage by the King's political opponents, while the Prince moves on to newer, more flamboyant dalliances, happily anticipating the unbridled indulgence his 21st birthday will permit.
