Synopsis

Adora's mahogany hair and violet eyes captivated young Prince Murad the moment he saw her in a convent garden, and their love flowered like the peach blossoms surrounding them.

Destiny might carry them to other lands and other loves, but Murad and Adora were meant only for each other—forging a magnificent love that lies forever in the pages of history . . .
