Story
Life has always been a banquet for Sappho, one to be savored to the fullest. Following a magnificent destiny, her strange and sensual odyssey has carried her to the far corners of the ancient world, from Delphi to Egypt, to the Land of the Amazons, and the realm of Hades. For Sappho, it was always about love—love that seduced her into a plot to depose a dictator, and love that made her trade an unwanted marriage bed of a despised and drunken husband for a seemingly endless series of lovers, both male and female.

It is the height of the Cold War, and Francis and Carroll—two CIA "legends" dubbed "The Sisters Death and Night” by their associates—plot the perfect crime. They deftly lure The Potter—former head of the Russian's KGB espionage school—into revealing the identity of his most talented student, an assassin called “The Sleeper.” The Sisters covertly send the Sleeper on a treacherous and near-impossible assignment, while the Potter races against time stop his protégé from committing the Sisters' exquisitely planned crime.

Story
In Rachel & Leah, Orson Scott Card paints vivid portraits of four celebrated women—Laban's daughters, Rachel and Leah; Bilhah, the orphaned servant; and Zilpah, an ambitious member of Laban's household. Into the desert camp comes Jacob, a handsome and charismatic kinsman who is clearly destined to be Rachel's husband. But that doesn't prevent the other woman from vying for his attention. Tracing their lives from childhood to maturity, Card shows how these women change in relationship to each other and how they are changed again by the holy books that Jacob brings with him.
