Hold close to Sapphira the harem girl, as she takes you into the hidden world of an Arabian sheik's harem. Here, surrounded by luxury and lustful decadence, she tells about her life and romances as a harem slave girl. The moment she arrives in the harem as a naive young girl, eunuchs instruct her in every facet of the art of pleasing her master. She recounts… "On one hand, I looked forward to knowing these things, yet on the other, I was aghast at the ways I had to show myself and the things I had to do for him. It thoroughly unnerved me to realize that I must come to know a man in these ways —a man I scarcely knew…." Her story of life in the harem is compelling and moving, revealing a level of lustful debauchery, submission, and luxurious decadence unimaginable today, but completely believable in the era in which it is set. And we feel—we imagine—we could be her, sharing her joy and tears, as intriguing, romantic, and sometimes wretched events unfold. But all is not as it first appears. She uncovers chinks in the sheikh's cold and indifferent exterior—hearts are vulnerable, even the strongest succumb, and little by little she beguiles her way into the warm and caring world of love between a man and woman…and steps across a forbidden boundary she had not imagined doing at the start. Unknown to others, Sapphira harbours a dark and troubling past. Years later, when her unlawful secret is uncovered, her calmed life collapses, leaving her exposed to swift and cruel justice. With heartrending bravery, she climbs from the depths of deplorable anguish and gives us a story guaranteed to excite the senses and arouse emotions—in a pleasing way.
