Granddaughter
of Maharaja Namdu, Anjika Tabia is forced into marriage with a man she
despises. Before the marriage can take
place, Anjika is drugged by her betrothed, so she will be more
cooperative, but
Anjika manages to escape wearing nothing but the locket around her neck
which
holds a picture of an Englishman who might be the father she has never
met. During her escape, the fates are
against
Anjika when she takes a blow to the head and is knocked unconscious and
awakens
with no memory of who she is.
Found by
Nicholas Cameron, Anjika soon finds herself imbedded in a life she’s
not sure
is her own. Anjika fears for her life,
finds love and wonders if it could all be taken away at a moment’s
notice. Who is Anjika?
What secrets lie in the past? What
does the future hold for her and
Nicholas?
Joanna
Challis pens a wonderful, suspenseful and engaging tale of betrayal,
spies and
love with The Secret of the Phoenix. From India to England and back again, Anjika
and the
reader are taken on an exciting and dangerous journey that will have
the reader
on the edge of their seat. There are so
many questions that needed answering in this tale and with each one
answered,
Ms. Challis would continue to intrigue us and have us asking even more. It is beginning to end wonder, suspense and
adventure within the pages of The
Secret of the Phoenix. This book
comes very highly recommended. Readers
won’t want to miss it!
