Anna of Byzantium is the best book I've ever read in my whole life. Anna Commena is the main character. Anna , at the start of the book is age 5 . She is the emperor's first born and his chosen successor. She expects to rule next to her betrothed , Cosantine over the Byzantine Empire.But when her little brother is born it does not help her at all. The barbarians from Turkey don't think Anna should rise to be empress , only a son should ascend to power. My favorite part was when her father came back from a war with the Turks. He was very sick. This led the family into very hard times. This is one of those books that will change the way you think forever.
