Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the heart of an unforgiving desert, a Romani stargazer discovers that her destiny isn't written in the heavens, but in the shifting sands she has sworn to guide her people through. Marina, a young woman bound by duty and starlight, lives a life of harmony until an ancient crone's prophecy shatters her world: her fate is tied to a being of fire and air-a Djinn. A Prophecy Ignites A Sandstorm When a monstrous sandstorm descends upon her caravan, a dying stranger stumbles into Marina's camp. His eyes are twin suns of molten amber, and his body is a sculpture forged in the crucible of a thousand-year imprisonment. Rashid, a Djinn of immense and terrifying power, has been held captive by a curse woven by Marina's own ancestors. She is the last drop of blood from the lineage that bound him, the final piece to an ancient, terrible puzzle. And she is the only one who can set him free. A Soul-Seared Bargain In a perilous bargain to save her people, Marina agrees to a series of dark, forbidden rituals within Rashid's otherworldly palace. It's a place of impossible architecture and intoxicating danger where she must surrender her body and soul to unravel the ancient spell. But as the lines between captor and savior blur, Marina realizes she is a pawn in a game far more dangerous than she ever imagined. The passion that ignites between them burns hotter than the desert sun, a consuming fire that threatens to consume them both. A Dangerous Game of Desire Can a woman of the earth and stars survive a creature of fire and air? Or will her defiant heart succumb to the Djinn's seductive promises? For a thousand years, Rashid has dreamed of revenge, but what if his darkest desires have finally found their match in the very woman who holds the key to his freedom?Delve into a world where magic and mortals collide, where a Gypsy's courage is tested, and a Djinn's fury is unleashed.

A good copy of the first English edition of this scarce anonymous manual, translated from the French, on the card game of quadrille. This was a variation (for four players) of ombre, a game which 'suited the genius of Ladies'. 'It will not be unnecessary to acquaint the Reader, that the following game of Quadrille has been about two years, and is at present, the favourite game at the French court [It] is more amusing and entertaining than [.] any other Game on the Cards [.]'. Ombre was most fashionable in eighteenth-century England and France, and famously played by Belinda in Pope's 'The Rape of the Lock' and also a favourite pastime of the formidable Lady Catherine de Bourgh in Pride and Prejudice. This manual was intended for beginners and provides instructions on the cards that should be used (usually 40), how to mark and pay, and play with or without calling a king. It also discusses quadrille by three and five, and the 'incidents' that may occur during a game (e.g., if one of the players should speak, which is forbidden). (ESTC T116490).

Rare Persian miniature painting depicting an ancient game of Chovgan, later adopted in the Western World as the game of polo. Affixed to an elaborately decorated paper mount, the painting depicts two opposing teams engaged in a game of Chovgan before a Persian cityscape. The ancient game of Chovgan originated in the middle of the first millennium A.D. in ancient Iran and was a Persian national sport played extensively by the nobility. Fragments of the game were periodically portrayed in ancient miniatures, and also detailed descriptions and rules of the game were also given in the ancient manuscripts. Englishmen had a great role in distribution and development of the game in Europe and the whole world. So chovgan â" brought from India to England in the 19th century became more popular and addition of new rules into it favored quick spreading of this game in Europe and the USA. Namely on the initiative of Englishmen this game acquired its present name â" polo and was included into program of the Olympic Games held in 1900, in Paris. In fine condition. Housed in an elaborate period frame. The entire piece measures 11.25 by 5.75 inches. The Persian miniature was the dominant influence on other Islamic miniature traditions, principally the Ottoman miniature in Turkey, and the Mughal miniature in the Indian sub-continent. Persian art under Islam had never completely forbidden the human figure, and in the miniature tradition the depiction of figures, often in large numbers, is central. This was partly because the miniature is a private form, kept in a book or album and only shown to those the owner chooses. In later periods miniatures were increasingly created as single works to be included in albums called muraqqa, rather than illustrated books. This allowed non-royal collectors to afford a representative sample of works from different styles and periods.
