She is an unmistakable beauty : dark long raven hair, athletic body and posture and those unforgettable piercing blue eyes. Zaphira’s world is a world of permissive hedonism, sexual freedoms, unchained relationships and her sexual apetite for sexual pleasures is quite legendary, basically Zaphira can have any woman her heart and her body desires. Life is beautiful in this world of blistering sun, rolling dunes, and wind-carved plains.ĭae will live in Zphira’s harem and become a so called pleasure slave, yet she is not ready to give herself to Zaphira. Zaphira is a seductress by design, a beautiful warrior ruler, who has her own harem with many beautiful women, all hers.

They don’t know they passed the territory of the scion Zafirah Al’Intisar, ruler of El’Kasari, a sort of capital city of an empire, as ancient Rome. The story starts with Dae somewhere in between these two worlds, as she was abducted by slave traders and dragged in chains through the in their caravan. Those social custom laws make people from different regions feel strange one about the other, like people from the Orient kingdom express themselves through touch, piercing gaze and close relationships, while the ones from the region comes from are full of doubts, lack of self consciousness, they oppose freedom, their own one, keeping themselves and their children captive in a loveless world. It is a very contemporary theme actually and quite hard to fight, for young and unexperienced girls, lead by their parents into loveless marriages, instead of searching love as their hearts whisper, even for another woman.

Nothing wrong with that, but those social custom laws have introverted people’s feelings and poisoned their minds, regardless of their hearts and minds. Imagine two worlds apart, the one Dae grew up as a young girl in a wealthy family, almost royal, in a northern land, where young girl were born and raised to be the wives of knights, war heroes, or landlords, bear their children and have a plain family live. The story of Dea it is a seductive coming of age story, on the road to her own sexual desires, by having her primal passion. My first, guess on Nights of Silk and Saphire’s main theme was a luxuriant oriental world of men, battles and muslims, barbarians and desert, lots of sand and thirst and a secret love of two women living in some sultan’s harem. I always try to “guess” a writing after it’s title.
