Novel The Falcon of Siam by Axel Aylwen

This is a story of Siam — the Venice of the East, fabled land of lavish courts and dazzling wealth, a worldly Eden where innocent sensuality and exquisite power games have long coexisted in ancient harmony. But in the final years of the seventeenth century, the age-old kingdom of Siam is forced to emerge from its traditional isolation as foreign adventurers, opportunists and buccaneers approach, hungry for wealth and empire. Into this fabulous world of intrigue strides Constantine Phaulkon, trader, smuggler, cavalier and rogue. Ostensibly in the employ of the British East India Company, Phaulkon is in reality pursuing his own sense of purpose - his destined link with Siam and its all-powerful monarch, King Narai. Here is a tale of seventeenth-century piracy and war, of history and opportunity, and of one man #39;s love for two women. Set against a background of unrivalled beauty and fascination, The Falcon Of Siam is a novel in the grand tradition and one which will entrance its many readers.
