The Polish Wolf — Janet Edmonds

"The Sultan has vowed to stable his horses in St Peter's. Go Home! Leave Vienna!" Heedless of Count Andrei Wiczasty's warnings, Arabella Lynton, daughter of the English envoy, is trapped in Vienna when the Turks lay siege to the city. With starvation in the streets and pestilence in the air, she turns to the Polish nobleman for protection. But his protection has limits, Arabella realises when, imprisoned in the Turkish seraglio after an escape attempt, she sadly accepts that the Polish Wolf cannot risk his life, and the future of Europe, for the woman who loves him.
