- Breve biografia
- Evelyn Gee was born on 1939 in Texas, USA. She makes her home in San Antonio with her husband, Jim and their son, Jason.
She signed her novels as Constance O'Banyon. She also wrote as Micah Leigh with Texan writer Emma Merritt. Her books range from historical to contemporary and include several novellas. Many of her books have been published in trade paperback.Among her many awards, she is the recipient of the 1996 Romantic Times Career Achievement Award. There are eight million copies of her books in print.
She says: "I have always loved history, and I loved storytelling — it was only natural that I would one day put them both together. I must have lived in another life and time, because when I write, I can almost feel I was there. My favorite part of writing is the research. Whenever possible, I will go to the place I am writing about to walk the land and smell the air." - Nota di disambiguazione

The historical detail put into the novel is wonderful, giving readers a glimpse into both Rome and Egypt during a tumultuous time in both countries’ histories. Unfortunately, the island country of Bal Forea sometimes falls flat due to this; the details not vivid enough to paint as strong a picture of this made-up country.
Thalia is a believable and likeable character. Her actions are sometimes confusing and ill-managed, but given how quickly her circumstances change, they are understandable. In a relatively short span of time Thalia’s life undergoes many upheavels, most of which require her to take strangers on faith that they won’t hurt her.
Our hero, Count Ashtyn, I was less intrigued by. There was nothing wrong with him, I just wasn’t interested. I was far more interested in finding out about Bal Forea and Thalia’s family. Their chemistry together picks up closer to the end, when everything is out in the open and Thalia is more comfortable.
Overall I enjoyed the historical aspect of this novel more so then the romantic elements, but do want to read the first two books to see if together the three are more enjoyable.… (altro)
