Samsara

SAMSARA Tibet in the late nineteenth century - an untamed and mysterious land. Lhasa, the residence of its god king the Dalai Lama, is a forbidden city - and death at the hands of his fierce soldiers is the fate of any foreigner who dares set foot inside its sacred walls. But for the mighty British and Russian empires Tibet has become a strategically vital country to be conquered at all costs.

Into this turbulent, dangerous realm come two young people, drawn together by deepest emotions yet torn apart by conflicting loyalties...

Lewis Joyden - is a handsome Englishman who travels disguised as a Buddhist monk to survey this wild and mountainous land in preparation for a British invasion.

Sonya Vremya is the fiercely independent Russian princess who first bewitched him many years ago at home. Her quest is to find her brother who was sent on a mission by the Tsar...but has vanished without trace...and track down her unloving husband and beg him for a divorce.
