"The servant was naked and had a slender, supple body. She took one of Inaya's legs, leaning the princess' foot on her shoulder. Gently, she slipped the sponge along her leg, then along her thigh where she lingered."
Inaya, princess of the Caliphate of Cordoba, is famous for her prose and open-mindedness that provoke the wrath of clergymen. Dressed in transparent tunics, she praises the qualities of the mind in both men and women and promotes talent above all. That is why her house of poetry is open to all, without distinction of gender or social rank.
It was during one of her evenings of recitation that she met a woman of fiery beauty: Tasnim. As talented as she is passionate, this girl will attract everyone’s attention but mainly that of our princess.
Born in Montreal to a Breton father, Chrystelle LeRoy’s family owned a zoo from which she derives a passion for observing animals and nature. As an adult, she became a historian, working for museums in Canada and France before specialising in digital writing where she won several awards. She introduces a dose of exoticism into her novels, often built on a background of historical reality.
