When Charles Wheatley buys a small Mediterranean island called Neopalia, expecting a life of privacy and harmony, he could hardly be more wrong. The islanders are ruthlessly opposed to outsiders; in fact, the previous purchaser had been set adrift in an open boat and left for dead. Within minutes of landing at the harbour, Wheatley finds himself a prisoner, and makes the perilous decision to fight back. As he faces imminent death, the beautiful Phroso intervenes, offering her own life. Passion, danger and ancient loyalties combine in this exceptional romantic adventure.

About the Author
Anthony Hope (in full Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins) was born in London and educated at Marlborough and at Balliol College, Oxford. He became a lawyer, and dabbled in Liberal politics, but the immediate success of The Prisoner of Zenda, his fourth work, turned him entirely to writing. This work and its sequel, Rupert of Hentzau, both describe the perilous adventures of the Englishman Rudolph Rassendyll in the mythical kingdom of Ruritania. Anthony Hope successfully published many other novels and plays. He was knighted in 1918 and died in 1933.
