Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

[quote=""TiciaRoma""]Behold your Queen by Gladys Malvern
The queen is Queen Esther, wife to Persian King Ahasuerus
Esther is the main character.
No alternate title that I know of.
This was one of the first historical fiction books I remember reading and one of the ones that got me hooked on the genre.[/quote]
Are there any novels about the Persian/Parhian queens BESIDES Esther?

Here is one of my favorites
485 B.C. - Artemisia I: became the ruler of Halicarnassius (A Greek City-State and a colony of Persian Empire). She ruled under the overlordship of the Persian Emperor Xerxes I (Kheshayar Shah). She was the legendary Grand Admiral and leader of the Persian Navy, She was Xerxes' great love. A great powerful, independent and intelligent woman who won many battles during the Achaemnid Dynasty Era. You can see the spirit of Cyrus in the sky at the background of the painting. She is a living legend and a role model for Persian Women. The name “Artemisia” means: The great speaker of truth.
And a list of others

And didn't she drink her husband's ashes? I agree she sounds like a great heroine!
