Set against a background of unrivaled beauty and mystical fascination in the ancient kingdom of Siam. The drama begins on the first page of The Falcon of Siam with a sea adventure as Constantine Phaulkon is betrayed by the crew he hired to help him smuggle Dutch made cannons to the Queen of Pattani. The fate of Phaulkon's grand plan, not to mention his life rests on the successful completion of this sale. At stake is not only the vast trading opportunities of this rich opulent kingdom but Phaulkon has fallen in love with the beautiful and exotic country of Siam and its people and he understands the serious threat the Dutch pose to an independent Siam. If the Dutch control Siam they would also control the vital Mergui Crossing and be able to exert a monopoly on virtually all of the European trade with Asia. Setting at the controls of this whirlwind of deceit, treachery and betrayal is King Narai. The revenue to run Siam came from trade and the King knew the Arab traders who were put in positions to control the trade with the outside world by his ancestors were cheating the Siam treasury. The King hoped to use the Dutch as a balance to bring the Arab traders back in line. At first the Dutch with their superior technology seemed to offer a solution but the Dutch were so efficient they soon wanted to take control and run the whole country. The latest foreigners to arrival were the British, and among them was one with a name impossible to pronounce but he had learned to speak Siam. None of the other foreigners except for a few Jesuit priests had learned to speak Siamese. The King had his spies keep a close watch on this strange newcomer.

A True Account of One of the Most Thrilling Periods in Thai HistorySet toward the end of the seventeenth century, Falcon at the Court of Siam recounts the true story of Constantine Phaulkon, a Greek of low birth who spectacularly rose to fame, and infamy, as King Narai's favourite courtier - in effect, if not in name, First Minister of Siam. No other foreigner, before or since, has ever held such a position of power and influence in Siam.Fleeing from his home on Cephalonia at the age of 11, the Greek became a seaman on English merchant ships for the next twenty years, and then enjoyed a meteoric rise to power in Siam - all the time walking a political tightrope between ill-fated wooing of English and then French allies, and his attempts to outwit dangerous enemies at the Siamese Court who were inflamed by jealously and anger at his arrogance and ambition.Against a backdrop of pageantry and peril, Phauklon pursued a destiny of greatness that he believed was his. Was he a man who would become king? A loyal servant to King Narai? Or simply an arrogant, conniving foreigner bent on his own material gain?Told in narrative and in a fictionalized journal, this historically accurate novel captures the remarkable character of Phauklon and the exceptional times in which he lived.

Based on the incredible true story of one woman’s journey to the exotic world of nineteenth-century Siam, the riveting novel that inspired The King and I. In 1862, recently widowed and with two small children to support, British schoolteacher Anna Leonowens agrees to serve as governess to the children of King Mongkut of Siam (present-day Thailand), unaware that her years in the royal palace will change not only her own life, but also the future of a nation. Her relationship with King Mongkut, famously portrayed by Yul Brynner in the classic film The King and I, is complicated from the start, pitting two headstrong personalities against each other: While the king favors tradition, Anna embraces change. As governess, Anna often finds herself at cross-purposes, marveling at the foreign customs, fascinating people, and striking landscape of the kingdom and its harems, while simultaneously trying to influence her pupils—especially young Prince Chulalongkorn—with her Western ideals and values. Years later, as king, this very influence leads Chulalongkorn to abolish slavery in Siam and introduce democratic reform based on the ideas of freedom and human dignity he first learned from his beloved tutor. This captivating novel brilliantly combines in-depth research—author Margaret Landon drew from Siamese court records and Anna’s own writings—with richly imagined details to create a lush portrait of 1860s Siam. As a Rodgers & Hammerstein Broadway musical and an Academy Award–winning film, the story of Anna and the King of Siam has enchanted millions over the years. It is a gripping tale of cultural differences and shared humanity that invites readers into a vivid and sensory world populated by unforgettable characters.

FORGED IN BATTLE... FROM THE DUST OF THE ARENA... A LEGEND WILL RISE The action-packed tale of a 17-year-old warrior princess and a handsome gladiator who dared take on the Roman Republic—and gave rise to the legend of Spartacus... For teens who love strong female protagonists in their fantasy and historical fiction, Blood and Sand is a stirring, yet poignant tale of two slaves who dared take on an empire by talented debut author C. V. Wyk. Roma Victrix. The Republic of Rome is on a relentless march to create an empire—an empire built on the backs of the conquered, brought back to Rome as slaves. Attia was once destined to rule as the queen and swordmaiden of Thrace, the greatest warrior kingdom the world had seen since Sparta. Now she is a slave, given to Xanthus, the Champion of Rome, as a sign of his master’s favor. Enslaved as a child, Xanthus is the preeminent gladiator of his generation. Against all odds, Attia and Xanthus form a tentative bond. A bond that will spark a rebellion. A rebellion that threatens to bring the Roman Republic to its end—and gives rise to the legend of Spartacus... The story continues in Fire and Ash, coming soon from Tor Teen.
