A Prison of Silk by D Cowart
Theirs was an ancient, male-dominated world when females were the property of fathers or husbands. If a girl was pretty, her value increased. She was then a commodity and could be sold, traded, used for gambling wagers, debts, or other profitable transactions.
YuYan, Jerasheba, Basha and Neneth come together in a king’s harem. Hidden from the outside world, they and many others endure twelve months of purification and instruction before they ever see His Majesty, if then. Their prison is luxurious, evidence of unbelievable wealth belonging to the most powerful ruler ever known.
Closely guarded, controlled, and vulnerable, they struggle for survival in a tinderbox of jealousy, fear, violence, and deception while striving for individual worth and identity.
A PRISON OF SILK shows how inner strength, hope, and persistence are the only armor any of them have. One or two of the girls, holding on to impossible dreams, might see opportunities beyond anything they could have imagined. The question is, will fate work for or against them?

"A debut novel containing numerous interwoven sub-plots, good imagery, great characterisation, and effective dialogue. Four young girls, all captured early in the tale, come from a variety of backgrounds. They must adapt to life in a harem belonging to a powerful, uncompromising ruler.
Loyalty, jealousy, love, hate, fear, despair, and courage feature in their peculiar world, as the months, extend to years with little hope of escape. Resourcefulness, determination, and resilience are the key to survival, and each of the concubines deals with their situation differently.
When the sprawling kingdom comes under threat of invasion, opportunities arise for individuals to determine their own fate.
Among other things, the subjugation of women is highlighted in this well-told tale." -- Tom (Amazon)
