Anna of byzantium is a fictionalized story of the Princess who was brought up to be Queen only to have her brother steel her throne, and place her in excile after she and her mother attempted to kill him.

The story was geared for young teens, but as an adult I enjoyed it. It was a nice light read which could be a starting point of study for someone wanting to learn about the Byzantium empire pre Roman era.
