Summary
A 3-in-1 edition of the classic romance fantasy series where a modern girl is whisked to ancient times and must navigate a scheming court and warring factions while trying to find her way home.
Yuri, a modern teenager, is transported to ancient Anatolia as part of a scheme by the evil Nakia, queen of the Hittites. Only the intervention of Nakia’s stepson, Prince Kail, saves Yuri from the queen’s bloodthirsty intentions. As an unintended consequence of the prince’s actions, the people of Anatolia embrace Yuri as the incarnation of the great war goddess Ishtar.
Kail and his forces struggle to rescue Yuri from becoming one of the Prince of Darkness’s courtesans. But the rescue will not be a simple one. Plus, someone has been impersonating Yuri in her absence and dragging down her reputation among the Hittites.
