Sands of Destiny

by Becky Lee Weyrich

While vacationing in Egypt, Pia Byrd daydreams about living in ancient times. Spotting a golden-eyed Greek sailor, she dares to add forbidden desire to her fantasies. Then, at a local marketplace, Pia finds herself drawn to a mysterious miniature crystal pyramid. Before she can protest, the handsome sailor buys it, breaks it in two, and gives her half. Suddenly bright colors surround her...and she is standing in a marble palace, dressed in a diaphonous gown. Before her is golden-eyed Darius, a man with the face and form--and the passions--of a god..

Caught between today's world and a long-ago time of primitive desires, Pia is transformed into a queen and given a chance to find a love that can span the ages, but can never be denied...

Reviews

[Debby]

I like books about time travel - the concept is rather fascinating. The history of Cleopatra in this book was also very interesting.
