About Fortune’s Child (The Theodora Duology #1)

KIRKUS REVIEWS: and “A meticulously researched historical account presented in the form of a thrilling political drama. and “Theodora: actress, prostitute, mistress, feminist. And Byzantine Empress of the civilized world. Stephen: handsome Syrian boy, wizard’s apprentice, palace eunuch. And Secretary to the Empress. How does this unlikely pair become such allies that one day Empress Theodora asks Stephen to write her biography?From a very young age, Theodora, daughter of a circus bearkeeper in Constantinople, sets her sights well above her station in life. Her exquisite beauty sets her apart on stages and in the eyes of men.Stephen, a Syrian lad of striking good looks, is sold by his parents to a Persian wizard, who teaches him a skill in languages that will serve him well.By the time Destiny brings them together in Antioch, Theodora has undergone heart-rending trials and a transformation, while Stephen has been sold again . . . and castrated.Discover the enduring bond that, however imperfect, prompts Theodora–as Empress–to request palace eunuch Stephen to write her biography. “A historical novel set in sixth-century Constantinople charts the extraordinary ascent of a woman from poverty to royal power. In this ambitious novel, the author vividly brings to life the cinematic story of Theodora’s life, chronicling her rise, more halting than meteoric, to spectacular power. Martin’s command of the historical period–not just the chief political events, but also the nuances of its cultural mores–is masterful. Furthermore, he conjoins that scholarly rigor with novelistic excitement–the entire tale is intelligently conveyed with great emotional poignancy. [This is] a meticulously researched historical account presented in the form of a thrilling political drama.” KIRKUS REVIEWS and “Martin not only unfurls the vast canvas of history, but he paints the deeply personal side of the men and women who lived it. His settings and characters come to life in meticulously researched detail. I felt like I was there. and ” –Lisa Wingate, New York Times Bestselling Author of Before We Were Yours and “A treasure for historical fiction fans–richly detailed, immersive, and heart-pounding. Martin paints a vivid and satisfying portrait of one of history’s most remarkable women. and “-Olivia Hawker, bestselling author of The Ragged Edge of Night
