I have another great giveaway! For all my e-reading friends and family, author Lloyd Lofthouse has agreed to give one lucky winner an e-book version of The Concubine Saga.
Book Description
No
Westerner has ever achieved Robert Hart’s status and level of power in
China. Driven by a passion for his adopted country, Hart became the
“godfather of China’s modernism”, inspector general of China’s Customs
Service, and the builder of China’s railroads, postal and telegraph
systems and schools.
However,
his first real love is Ayaou, a young concubine. Sterling Seagrave, in
Dragon Lady, calls her Hart’s sleep-in dictionary and says she was
wise beyond her years.
Soon
after arriving in China in 1854, Hart falls in love with Ayaou, but his
feelings for her sister go against the teachings of his Christian
upbringing and almost break him emotionally. To survive he must learn
how to live and think like the Chinese. He also finds himself thrust
into the Opium Wars and the Taiping Rebellion, the bloodiest rebellion
in human history, where he makes enemies of men such as the American
soldier of fortune known as the Devil Soldier.
During
his early years in China, Robert experiences a range of emotion from
bliss to despair. Like Damascus steel, he learns to be both hard and
flexible, which forges his character into the great man he becomes.
In time, an ancient empire will rely on him to survive, and he will become the only foreigner the Emperor of China trusts.
Full of
humanity, passion, and moral honesty, The Concubine Saga is the deeply
intimate story of Hart’s loyalty and love for his adopted land and the
woman who captured his heart.
“My Splendid Concubine” was the love story Sir Robert Hart did not want the world to discover.
In the
sequel, “Our Hart, Elegy for a Concubine”, he was the only foreigner the
Emperor of China trusted. Both novels have come together as one in
“The Concubine Saga”.
