Description

Princess Ziska is a beautiful woman who captures the eye of an acclaimed painter who feels eerily connected to her through distant yet unexplained memories. He’s haunted by a shared history, love and betrayal that’s centuries old.

Armand Gervase is a celebrated artist who’s living in the lap of luxury. His most popular work shows an Egyptian woman, who in a fit of rage, is about to kill her lover. When Armand meets the dynamic Princess Ziska, he is taken aback by her beauty and hypnotic charm. Their encounter triggers a series of strange memories indicating that they have met before. He soon discovers a striking resemblance between Princess Ziska and the subject of his famous painting. Is she a creation from his mind or a relic of his past?

Ziska: The Problem of a Wicked Soul is a thrilling combination of romance, mystery and horror. It’s a story of calculated revenge a lifetime in the making. Corelli’s signature prose delivers an unforgettable tale of reincarnation and ultimate retribution.

Author Bio

Marie Corelli (1855-1924) was an English novelist. Born Mary Mackay in London, she was sent to a Parisian convent to be educated in 1866. Returning to England in 1870, Corelli worked as a pianist and began her literary career with the novel A Romance of Two Worlds (1886). A favorite writer of Winston Churchill and the British Royal Family, Corelli was the most popular author of her generation. Known for her interest in mysticism and the occult, she earned a reputation through works of fantasy, Gothic, and science fiction. From 1901 to 1924, she lived in Stratford-upon-Avon, where she continued to write novels, short story collections, and works of non-fiction. Corelli, whose works have been regularly adapted for film and the theater, was largely rejected by the male-dominated literary establishment of her time. Despite this, she is remembered today as a pioneering author who wrote for the public, not for the critics who sought to deny her talent.
