Twilight of a Goddess
By Christopher Nicole
The romantic adventures of one history’s most scandalous women.
It is 1835, and Jane Elizabeth Digby finds herself living in Bavaria having remarried the Baron von Venningen following an affair. But this is a marriage of convenience, for she has become the principal mistress of the German King.
However, Jane, now approaching thirty, is becoming bored with her situation, and when she meets a glamorous Greek Count, she abandons everything to elope with him.
This is the beginning of a tumultuous career of love and adventure. Armed with her pistols, natural grace and wit, not to mention a body that turns heads, she jumps from one steamy affair to another, travelling from Athens into the bandit-ridden mountains of Albania, and the deserts of Syria, where, after a lifelong quest for love, she will become a living legend.
Twilight of a Goddess is an action-packed historical novel in which the irrepressible and charming heroine bows to no man.
Christopher Nicole’s historical fiction has won him international acclaim. Born in the West Indies, he now lives in the Channel Islands with his wife, Diana, also a novelist. His recent titles include A Fearful Thing, Cold Country, Hot Sun and, from the Anna Fehrbach series, Angel Rising, Angel of Destruction and Angel of Darkness.
