It’s 1942. The Japanese have invaded Burma and are closing in on India. After five years in the remote Andaman Islands, aspiring anthropologist Claire Durant and her husband Shep, a civil surgeon, must evacuate with their beloved but mysteriously mute four-year-old, Ty. They cannot, however, take Naila, the local girl whose ability to communicate with Ty has made them dangerously dependent on her. The morning of the evacuation, both children disappear. With time running out, Shep forces Claire onto the ship while he stays behind to find their son. But just days after landing in Calcutta, Claire learns that the Japanese have taken the Andamans—and cut off all access to her missing family. In the desperate odyssey that follows, Claire, Shep, and Naila will all take unimaginable risks while drawing deeply from their knowledge of these unique islands to save their beloved “glorious boy.”

I am a slave, both by circumstance and proclivity. Long have I prayed for the perfect master and trusted the Goddess to guide me into his arms. At Verulamium, in the heart of Roman Britannia, I find him. Gaius Antonius Captio is a man of wealth and power, and his domination brings me ecstasy untold. Yet while I surrender without hesitation, he resents his ever-growing desire for me. In his eyes, a slave should hold no sway over her master.But the winds of change are blowing, bringing the threat of destruction. Will my glorious enslavement be brought to an end before Gaius dares admit he can no longer separate the pleasures of the body from those of the heart?
