    About this ebook

    It was the greatest scandal that Oxford University had ever known. The culprits were the sons of the rich and famous, even of Royalty. The trials went on for years, and the story of the modern day eunuch spread, his beauty and desirability extolled.
    Shuki was unaware of the full extent of his notoriety, though he knew not to show his face in England, not for fear of unwanted advances, but because reporters were such a problem. He now lives in his own remote home, overlooked by his beloved mountains, and protected by the Daoud family of Naelahin. He has his family, his studies, and is respected. He has come a very long way from his origins.
    Feroz Hady was viewed as a puppet king. Just sixteen, yet he is the all-powerful monarch of a country in Arabia. When an important and complex trade deal hangs in the balance, his Chief Councillor bargains an extra concession to keep his young king happy. Added to the details of the enormous payment promised, there is a reference to ‘other considerations.’ Shuki’s freedom is traded away by his own country. He becomes slave and companion to a king.
    As he told his stepson years later, “Sometimes things happen, and the only choice you have is to accept it and learn to make a life anyway.” Shuki has no choice, and he makes his life anew, finding compensation in the influence he comes to bear over a country not his own.

    M. A. McRae

    The four books of the Shuki series are available as ebooks and as paperbacks. 'Not a Man' is the first of the Shuki Series, followed by 'The King's Favourite.' These are quite separate stories, and can be read as stand-alone books. However, you will enjoy the third in the series, 'To Love and To Protect,' more if you have read at least one of the others. The fourth in the series is a little different, and covers Shuki's mature years, and even ranges forward a few decades. This can be read as a stand-alone book. There is no 'adult' material in this one, though there is in the earlier novels, especially the first.The six Penwinnard Stories are about the boys of Penwinnard Boys' Home - their spirit, their occasional mischief, and their aspirations. The final one, 'Price of Survival,' will be more widely available shortly. This one is about Bob, whom we first met in 'Angel No More.'These books are also available as paperbacks.
