Description
<p><span><span>Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, "Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None". Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings? As Shakespeare's audience apparently knew, Banquo was the ancestor of the royal Stewart line. But the road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, bestowing the Witches' prophecy on his illegitimate son Walter. Born in Wales and raised in disgrace, Walter's efforts to understand Banquo's murder and honor his lineage take him on a long and treacherous journey through England and France before facing his destiny in Scotland.</span></span></p>

AMBASADORA has a lot to say about the human spirit, and it says it well.<br />--Mike Resnick, Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author<br /><br /><span>With
an anthropologist's eye for world building and an engaging fast-paced
style, Miller hurtles her characters through a dystopian labyrinth in
which hollow beauty is revered and love a virtual crime.<br /></span>--Christopher Paul Carey, THE SONG OF KWASIN<br /><br />Beautifully vibrant and intricately textured, Heidi Ruby Miller's
AMBASADORA explores the value of true humanity, the limitless power of
desire and the triumph of the individual soul. Miller's characters blaze
with life and lust and depth, and her world is a dichotomy of the
glamorously sensual and the brutally dangerous. Amidst edge-of-the-seat
action, Miller effortlessly incorporates the conflicts of the modern
woman inherent in upholding feminist sensibility. AMBASADORA is a
banquet of sumptuous words, a truly exciting adventure that fans of
science fiction are sure to enjoy.<br />--Mary SanGiovanni, author of THE HOLLOWER and THRALL
