“In contrast to the richly ornamented chamber, the queen sat simply robed in a long-sleeved lavender tunic, hair unbound as her handmaiden worked aromatic oils into the long tresses. Unadorned as she was, stripped of cosmetics and jewelry, she seemed the most beautiful creature Roxannah had ever laid eyes on. Tall and willowy, she turned with swanlike grace to watch them bow.” — Tessa Afshar
