Torn Loyalties begins with the Lady Kiah’s marriage into the House of Nasor. On her wedding day she learns that her cousin Zenobia will be marrying soon as well, to her husband’s father, and will be following Kiah to her new home. The surprising marriage takes place, Zenobia moves in, and the new First Wives take over the reins of their respective households. The cousins create quite a stir, but special notice by the gods during the Spring Rites makes everyone uneasy. It is during this time that Kiah is reunited with someone she thought never to see again -- Atticus Lucius Aurelius, the Roman soldier who saved her from her own foolishness and impetuosity on a never to be forgotten day years earlier. The rise of a Persian king plunges the region into war; the downfall of Rome’s Eastern Empire becomes a distinct possibility. Facing an enemy that attacks from within and without, rocked by personal pain and terrible tragedy, Kiah fights for the lives of her friends and family, for the people of Palmyra, and the shining city she has grown to love, known throughout the world as the ’Bride of the Desert’. Katrina Covington Whitmore has indulged her passion for writing throughout what she considers her four careers: as a reporter/producer at three commercial television stations; as a communications professor at three major universities; as the manager of a city cable channel; and as an author. Katrina resides in Phoenix, Arizona, with her husband Percy and her black cockapoo, Diamond.
