In This Land: The Purple Book, Volume One
Bade, prince of the tiny,
overlooked country of Nosupolis, doesn't have a plan for his life. His ambitious
older brother Tiko, heir to the throne, seems to have everything under control
without Bade or his twin brother's help. Bade hopes to marry well and find some
way to be a credit to the crown, but never in his wildest dreams does he expect
an invitation to court the Pharaoh of Orina Anoris, the divine ruler of the most
powerful country in the world. Bade always thought that Tiko would be the one to
change their homeland for the better, but now he has a chance to wed the
pharaoh, ally their two nations through marriage, and do more for Nosupolis than
anyone in centuries.
Suddenly whisked away by Prince
Orinakin, royal diplomat and handsome purple-haired child of the gods, Bade
finds himself in an exotic land that dazzles his senses and opens his eyes like
never before. The people of Orina Anoris are uninhibited, expressive,
flirtatious, and don't seem to know the meaning of sexual repression. The
handsome Seven Siblings are no exception. Boyfriends, lovers, harems--it boggles
Bade's mind to witness a freedom he never even imagined.
But the endless parade of beautiful
men pales in comparison to the Pharaoh Anosukinom. Tall, gorgeous, and
physically flawless, Anosukinom's beauty is literally perfection. And if that
weren't enough, the rumors are true: he really is both god and man. Crackling
with power, intimidating yet friendly, he is as unconventional as he is
traditionally Anorian. Daunted in the face of his divinity, Bade isn't sure if
he can win the heart of a deity, but at the very least he hopes to bring
attention to the plight of his ignored, forgotten country.
After being exposed to a vibrant,
colorful new world, nights of sizzling passion, and the possibilities of true
love, how can Bade face the thought of being rejected and returning home? Will
he be able to win the pharaoh's heart and finally help his people?
Experience the rich, luxurious
fantasy world of Orina Anoris only in Matthew Haldeman-Time's series, "In This
Land," and watch as eight handsome brothers try to balance ruling a nation with
finding true happiness. Find out what happens to Bade, Anosukinom, and the
sexiest siblings in the world. Read Volume One to begin the erotic journey of a
lifetime.
