About the Book

Bevis Longstreth's novel tells a story of love, adventure and the transcendent power of art at the dawning of civilization. Set in 5th Century BC, this human drama spans some 3,000 miles, from the ancient city of Sardis at the western edge of the Persian Empire in Anatolia to the Sycthian village of Pazyryk in the Altai Mountains of southwestern Siberia. Rachel, a young Sardian Jew, is a weaver of consummate skill in the royal workshop of Cyrus the Younger, brother of Artaxerxes II, King of Persia. Amid the opulence of the Sardian Court, she meets Targitus, a Scythian prince come west to learn the closely kept secrets of gold purification. What unfolds is the imaginative braiding of two lives, thrown together by chance, but resulting in the creation of the oldest known pile carpet in existence, preserved for future generations in a frozen tomb in the Altai Mountains. The carpet, now hanging in St. Petersburg's Hermitage Museum, is a towering achievement in art and weaving, unsurpassed by textiles of later eras.
About the Author: A graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School, Bevis Longstreth is a retired partner with the law firm Debevoise & Plimpton. He practiced in the firm's New York office for twenty years until President Ronald Reagan appointed him sixtieth commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1981. In 1984, he retired from the SEC and returned to Debevoise, where he practiced corporate, finance, banking and securities law until 1993. A former adjunct professor at Columbia University Law School, he has been a frequent speaker on various securities and corporate law topics and has served on several banking, investment and finance boards and committees. A periodic blogger for the Huffington Post, he has written two other historical novels, Return of the Shade and Boats Against the Current, as well as a book on law reform entitled Modern Investment Management and the Prudent Man Rule.
