Overview

What a family!

And what a queen!

Parysatis-daughter of one king, wife to another and mother of a third-has long wanted to tell her own story, to rip it from the hands of the Greek historians who loved to hate her. In Return of the Shade, this layered and complex ruler finds her champion in author Bevis Longstreth.

"To be honest," Parysatis tells us, "the Greeks got more than my wealth right. But knowing how power is used is worthless without understanding why."

Return of the Shade puts us behind the royal screen to witness up close what absolute power combined with pride, ambition, and sibling rivalry wrought within the Achaemenid family of great Persian kings, and across their now forgotten Empire-at the time the greatest on earth.

This queen of ancient Persia is devious, conniving, and mesmerizing. It would be a shame to miss her.

"A deeply felt, dramatic, eminently readable re-creation of life in a royal court of ancient Persia. Longstreth's ambitious, ruthless and yet paradoxically appealing heroine deserves a place in the annals of feminism."
-Marie Winn, author of Central Park in the Dark
