Book Description

Publication Date: 1 Aug 1999 | Series: Ascension Trilogy
Dear Reader,

I'm so proud to introduce Gaelen Foley, a captivating new writer who will sweep you away with this unforgettable story of forbidden love and wondrous destiny.

Darius Santiago is the King's most trusted man, a master spy and assassin. He is handsome, charming, ruthless, and he has one weakness--the stunning Princess Serafina. She is all he has ever wanted and everything he cannot have. Serafina has worshipped Darius from afar her whole life, knowing that deep in the reaches of her soul, where she is not royalty but a flesh and blood woman, she belongs to this dangerous, untouchable man. Unable to suppress their desire any longer, they are swept into a daring dance of passion destined to consume them both until a deadly enemy threatens to destroy their new love.

PRINCESS is historical romance at its best--full of adventure, intrigue, and pageantry--from an amazingly talented new author whose storytelling career is  just beginning. . . .

Enjoy!

Product Description

From the Publisher

You must read this book....
As a romance reader and editor, I've read a lot of books, but it's not very often that I find an author that is as unique and compulsively readable as Gaelen. Many of my friends have discovered the perks of having a friend who works in publishing--free books! But Gaelen is the only author I've ever worked with where my friends are demanding that I pass along the manuscript the second I get it because they can't stand to wait for the book to come out. PRINCESS is just as amazing as THE PIRATE PRINCE, and just wait, dear reader, for PRINCE CHARMING, coming next year. It's perhaps her best yet, and I know because I've got the manuscript on my desk as I type this....

5.0 out of 5 stars Princess is a priceless romance! 21 July 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A historical, set on an island country during Napolean's era, the story centers around Princess Serafina. Her upcoming marriage to a brutuish Russian will secure her small country from Napolean's forces . Her sense of loyalty wars with her heart . . . a heart that has belonged to Darius Santiago, the king's man. Intrigue and politics are the backdrop for Darius and Serafina's love story. Gaelen Foley's second book was a fast-paced, wonderful story destined for my keeper's shelf. Now, I just have to hunt down her first book, the Pirate (Serafina's father's story) and wait for the third book in this series (Serafina's brother's story, Prince Charming, due out Spring of 2000).

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant 2nd Story, Worth Picking Up!!! 3 Jun 2011
By britgirl
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the second book in the Ascension trilogy, following on from 'The Pirate Prince.'

We meet Darius Santiago at the end of the first book as a young 14 year old lad who aids Lazar reclaim his throne. For the last 20 years, he has been King Lazar's spy and assassin. His weakness is the king's daughter, Princess Serafina. She has wanted him her whole life, but Darius has always kept a distance between them, since he is no prince and isn't 'worthy' of her. This hasn't stopped him chasing after anything in a skirt, and Serafina once catches him at it. Her father is trying to get a husband for his daughter, and has chosen a Russian Prince who is very pompous and arrogant. Darius hates him, but knows he can't do anything. When it is feared Serafina will be kidnapped, she persuades her father to allow Darius to take her away into hiding. Darius isn't happy, as he worries what he may do when alone with her. Eventually, a relationship develops, but Serafina wants to find out the truth about Darius' past, something he is adamant she'll never learn. We also see the introduction of Prince Rafe, Serafina's younger brother who is the protagnist of the last book in the series.

Overall, the story is very good, 4.5/5. My only problem was the Americanisms of words that came through, which am sure weren't used in Europe, even in the 19th century!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, still great! 20 May 2011

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I love this slice of classic Gaelen Foley, this is one of her very best and puts to shame her recent efforts which simply don't live up to her earlier promise! I read it years and years ago and revisting it has not dimmed its impact. From the opening scenes and Darius's whispered 'Princesa' in the maze right through to the epilogue, this story with it's twists and turns holds you in thrall to what is essentially a love that withstands the test of time! Brilliant!
