Ishtar's Gate. This is an omnibus edition of The Seventh Room and Tisiphone Walking. An unputdownable two-part novel of love, trust, honour, treason, resistance, and a deadly, killing anger. In The Seventh Room:Tomasin West knows there's a darkness building inside her. Haunted by visions of witch-hunts, she sees the waking world mirroring her dreams, and longs to fly, screaming and flailing, at the enemy.
She's a midwife - a healer - but as the Nazis grow in strength, she finds herself balancing on the precipice of a primal fury. Peter Brandt - the Welsh-born son of a German war hero - is an officer in the German army, but he has secrets that would get him shot for treason - by both sides. Deeply involved with the ill-fated German resistance, Peter despairs as the Nazi regime tears apart his once-great and honourable fatherland.
In a prison camp in a stone-cold crucible of a castle, the two form a forbidden bond. In Tisiphone Walking:When the castle is liberated, everything changes. Plunged into a conspiracy that threatens her country, her closest friend, and the man she has come to love, Tommie's anger calls up dark and powerful allies. Peter has one last chance to choose his identity, but for Tommie, there is a new enemy within, its boots are all over her hearth.
and Tisiphone is walking. In an age when those who stand up for honour, courage and love are condemned as the enemy, Ishtar's Gate explores universal themes of the human condition. This page-turning omnibus is an exhilarating, hard-hitting, absorbing read for those who love historical fiction with spirit. Perfect for fans of The Nightingale, The Rose Code, and Truth and treason, TISIPHONE WALKING will haunt you.
