Klappentext

Aeneas leaned forward a little and kissed her on the mouth. Just one swift, soft touch of his lips on hers and then he turned and walked away.

Love can be deadly. Especially when two young women fall for the same man - one a queen, the other her serving maid.

Elissa knows she is playing with fire, but she can't resist. Queen Dido suspects nothing, until one fateful night . . . Secrets are revealed, hearts are broken and as dawn breaks, a terrible tragedy unfolds.

Praise for Dido:

'Geras's ability to weave a touching new tale in with the well-known one is unique to modern children's authors; Dido is a shining new jewel to her crown' The Times

'. . . a perfect maelstrom of love, jealousy, fate and caprice . . .' www.thebookbag.co.uk

'An absolute must . . . Full of passion, mysticism and betrayal' Now Magazine
