Praise for Eileen Stephenson

Praise for Imperial Passions – The Great Palace:

“For those who read Stephenson’s Imperial Passions – The Porta Aurea, and wanted more, the wait is over. Imperial Passions – The Great Palace, the story of Anna Dalassena, a most important and fascinating woman in Byzantine history, is delightfully instructive and engaging. Come ready to immerse yourself in a thrilling story both political and personal.” 

~James Conroyd Martin, author of The Theodora Duology 


Praise for Imperial Passions - The Porta Aurea

“One book does not suffice to tell the fascinating story of Anna Dalassena, one of the more intriguing medieval ladies around. Ms Stephenson ends her narrative while there is still a lot of life ahead of Anna. I hope she will be kind enough to furnish us with a sequel as well-written and researched as Imperial Passions is!” Historical Novel Society Indie Reviews
