When her estranged archeologist father suddenly dies, the last thing Issy expects to be left with is a cryptic note from him and a mysterious jeweled amulet. Determined to learn how it came into her father's possession, she journey's to the deserts of Morocco, where she is swept into a world steeped in history, tradition and love lost. With the help of a handsome antiques trader named Taib, Izzy soon unearths the amulet's extraordinary past among the Tuareg people, a past that involves the legendary Tin Hinan - She of Tents - who crossed the desert on foot, and her beautiful descendant Mariata. Spanning years and the hot, shifting sands of the Salt Road, the intertwined stories of Izzy and Mariata become entangled with that of the ancient amulet, taking readers on an unforgettable journey."--Inside front cover.

Behind the magnificent walls and towering arches of the Palace of Meknes, captive chieftain's son and now a lowly scribe, Nus Nus is framed for murder. As he attempts to evade punishment for the bloody crime, Nus Nus finds himself trapped in a vicious plot, caught between the three most powerful figures in the court: the cruel and arbitrary sultan, Moulay Ismail, one of the most tyrannical rulers in history; his monstrous wife Zidana, famed for her use of poison and black magic; and the conniving Grand Vizier. Meanwhile, a young Englishwoman named Alys Swann has been taken prisoner by Barbary corsairs and brought to the court. She faces a simple choice: renounce her faith and join the Sultan's harem; or die. As they battle for survival, Alys and Nus Nus find themselves thrust into an unlikely alliance--an alliance that will become a deep and moving relationship in which these two outsiders will find sustenance and courage in the most perilous of circumstances."--Publisher.

2022., Simon & Schuster Canada Call No: Fic Joh Edition: Simon & Schuster Canada edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: In the far west of Cornwall lies the White Valley, which cuts deeply through bluebell woods down to the sea at White Cove. The valley has a long and bloody history, laced with folklore, and in it sits a house above the beach that has lain neglected since the war. It comes with a reputation and a strange atmosphere, which is why mother and daughter Magdalena and Mila manage to acquire it so cheaply in the fateful summer of 1954. Magda has grand plans to restore the house to its former glory as a venue for glittering parties, where the rich and celebrated gathered for cocktails and for bracing walks along the coast. Her grown daughter, Mila, just wants to escape the scandal in her past and make a safe and happy home for her little girl, Janey, a solitary, precocious child blessed with a vivid imagination, much of which she pours into stories about her magical plush toy, Rabbit. But Janey's rabbit isn't the only magical being around. Legend has it that an enchanted white hare may be seen running through the woods. Is it an ill omen or a blessing? As Mila, her mother, and her young daughter adjust to life in this mysterious place, they will have to reckon with their own pasts and with the secrets that have been haunting the White Valley for decades.
