Summary:

This trade paperback was originally released to great acclaim as a hardcover in Spring of 1999. Reviewed in a diverse range of magazines from Entertainment Weekly to Computer Graphics World, this graphic novel is an historical fiction piece steeped in eroticism and intrigue.

Juxtaposing photography, computer-generated effects and backgrounds, and pages of fully-painted artwork, this piece portrays the opulent, but tortured existence of Vivian Pearse-Packard. Vivian is a newlywed whose British husband is an embittered ambassador. During a visit to the Sultan's palace, she must enter a domain of enslaved women and watchful eunuchs: the harem of the Sultan.

For mature audiences, this title provides both a thrilling story and incredible, cutting-edge illustration.
