Beauty of the Devil
‘You have the beauty of the Devil and it will bring you pain as well as happiness.’
Born in the shadow of the pyramids to a Romany fortune-teller, Lakshmi has both great beauty and a secret mark which curses her as one of the Devil’s own. She is an outcast but the grace of her dancing has the power to move and influence men — from Bordan, the Amir of the Forgotten Land, to the brutal and ambitious Basha of all Egypt — for her dancing can grant long-held desires.
But Lakshmi’s love is only for Carlos de Santiago, a handsome, enigmatic Spaniard. He offers her a life of fabulous luxury, but when she discovers the source of his great wealth, she is driven to deny the fate that binds them together in this life and the one they shared before in ancient Egypt.
