Allison Baxter, a sincere American whose banker husband is often away likes Philips punishing fitness regime and yearns to share her secrets with him. Cassandra Sullivan, the Prime Ministers gorgeous, all-seeing English secretary, has come to Alidar for a season of abstinence. The King is interested in her. She is interested in Philip. Set in a place where perfection is tangible, women are invisible and five times a day a man shouts from a tower that God is great, comes a story of intrigue, romance and scandal where nothing is at it seems.
