Book Description
Persia AD1295 ...
Fifteen-year-old Hassan returns to his native land in search of adventure, but emotionally unprepared for a chance encounter that will change his life.
Saved from a degrading forced marriage, sixteen-year-old Princess Doquz is bent on revenge for her humiliation. With the rebel commander, Ahmed Sabbah, she declares war on the Mongol Il-khanate. Her daring and skills in weaponry earn her a reputation as the Tiger Princess.
But Doquz is reluctant to play the religious card that will help her brother, Ghazan, to the throne of Persia, until a reunion with Hassan, her childhood companion, forces her to reappraise her objectives and her sexuality.
From Tabriz to the Valley of the Assasins, deep in the Alburz mountains, Hassan and Doquz pursue their course, unaware of secrets that can destroy them both ... and Sabbah must break a solemn oath to save them.

From the Author
In The Tiger and the Cauldron, I have again tried to recapture something of the religious and political turbulence as well as the romance and adventure of Mongol Persia. A more detailed backgound of the novel and information about the historical characters that appear in it can be found on my web site.
