Quiet enjoyed the duology of the story of the queen Zenobia from Palmyra,who dare to provoke the mighty Roman Empire.The second book I thought was rushing a bit through the events,but still was ok for me.I am not sure if It was translated in English .I would say is easy, enjoyable reading what include a lot of religion,a political intrigue ,some battles (even some of them has not been described in details).But I think I will give a chance to the trilogy about the Incas written by the same authors.
