Festival of Lights
It's 167 BCE and Jewish faith has been outlawed in Jerusalem by the Hellenic overlords the Seleucids. Hoping to protect his aspiring Rabbi son, Jacob, Moshe makes a most unusual purchase at the slave market - a female Scythian warrior.
Saka Ishkuzi has known nothing but deprivation, battle and harsh extremes of ice mountains and sand dunes. She was forged into the perfect weapon: women were not seen as threats by the Seleucids. But her biggest battle wouldn't be protecting Jacob's life but her heart from his gentle touch.
Return in time to the first Hanukkah to witness miracles of faith and love.
What the reviewers had to say:
This is a very interesting story and one that I quite enjoyed. The characters are very much alive, the setting is well described and the story is very intriguing. Melissa Glisan has done a very good job with this theme and this is an author worth watching.

What the reviewers had to say:
NIGHT LIGHTS is first of all a great historical story. Melissa Glisan captures her reader and brings her straight into the year 1899. Secondly, this intriguing story is a great mystery. …It is also a bit of a thriller, as the ending of this tale gave this reviewer a definite shiver down her spine. Ms. Glisan has not only written a very entertaining story, but she also adds lots of sexual tension and some great sex scenes. … It's got lots of mystery in it, a really nice love story and a wicked twist at the end. This reviewer can recommend it to readers of historical romance who like something a little different.

Rich in detail, lurid, lovely scenes, Night Lights is one of those novellas that immerses you in richness from the feel of the story to the dreams (lusty ones at that) that it creates.
