Description
The Purple Shroud by Stella Duffy In this compelling novel, Empress Theodora emerges from the shadows of history into brilliant light. Born to a bear-keeper's daughter in Constantinople, she rises to become one of the most powerful women in the world. A complex and paradoxical character, Theodora is driven by her imagination, kindness, and ruthless determination. As she navigates the treacherous world of Byzantine politics, Theodora must confront the greatest danger to her reign - and her life - that lies closest to home. With its richly drawn characters and gripping storyline, this highly enjoyable novel will keep you turning the pages until the very end. A writer who never lets you down, Stella Duffy brings Theodora to vivid life in a story that is both historical and deeply human.
