The Dark Star

Robert W. Chambers

The Dark Star

Robert W. Chambers

A pastor's daughter and a stolen gem called the Dark Star. In 1895 Constantinople, innocent Ruhannah finds herself entangled in a jewel heist she never asked for, her life suddenly collateral in a game between thieves and collectors who worship the ancient god Erlik. Enter a prince with his own mysterious agenda, determined to recover the stone and rescue the girl caught in its cursed orbit. As the noose tightens, Ruhannah must decide whether her fate belongs to the men who would possess her or to the ancient force that binds their lives together. Chambers weaves a heady tale of Eastern intrigue, romantic danger, and the terrible weight of destiny, where a bronze idol of the Mongol god of death watches over it all.
