Description
The Hawk’s Lady: a Deluxe 250th Anniversary Edition of Colleen Shannon’s beloved 1989 Barbary Wars romance, now fully revised with new original content.
In 1799, Lady Victoria “Tory” Grenville, a willful English heiress, is captured at sea by Sinan Reis, a blond Barbary pirate captain secretly working for a cause he can’t reveal. Aboard his xebec and within the walls of an Algiers harem, captor and captive wage a battle of wills that becomes a battle for the heart, set against real political intrigue between the new United States, the Dey of Algiers, and the warring Federalists and Democratic-Republicans of post-Revolutionary Philadelphia.
Sweeping sea battles, kidnappings, and court machinations build to a richly satisfying historical romance grounded in meticulously researched 18th-century detail.
- New, expanded edition with a newly written epilogue extending the story into the events of 1814, bridging to the author’s upcoming Regency-era trilogy.
- Bonus material: author’s historical notes, a detailed bibliography/source list documenting the book’s research, and a preview/teaser of Shannon’s forthcoming ‘Fire, Wind and Earth’ trilogy (Ashes, Burning Bright; Whirlwind, Burning Bright; Tiger, Burning Bright).
- Author Colleen Shannon was nominated by Romantic Times as Best New Historical Romance Author and has won/been nominated for multiple industry awards (including a Kiss Award) across an 18-novel career with over a million copies in print.
- Limited deluxe hardback printing released to mark the U.S. 250th anniversary, with patriotic design features available on Colleen Shannon’s author website.
