Synopsis

My dearest Bassam,

Come for me. I am taken away to a dark place. It is the end of my life. I have nothing but this script to console--and my thoughts of you. If these words find you when it is too late, let them comfort you for your life without me at your side. --Forever yours,

Rasha

What is greater than the search for love? Finding the love of your life and having her ripped away.

In the dark of night, a covert group of bandits enters the village of Rekeem and kidnaps Rasha, daughter of the great Abdali-ud-din leader, Zafir. They seek a hefty ransom, and know Zafir will sacrifice everything to win back the safety of his beloved daughter. But it's not just Zafir who wants to find her. Bassam, Zafir's young protégé in the caravans, is deeply in love with Rasha. And he will let nothing stop him from finding her--even a perilous journey--even death.

This epic third installment of the Bassam Saga follows Bassam, Rasha, and a colorful cast of characters on a heroic trek from Rekeem, across Egypt, to the pyramids, and the great Nilus River, and back again. What begins as a quest for lost love becomes a battle for life as the pursuers become the hunted, and realize that not everyone is who they seem. With timeless style and masterful storytelling, Paul B. Skousen leads us on a coming-of-age tale that tests will, valor, wit, and swordsmanship, and ultimately bring us back to love.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

As a young child, Paul B. Skousen grew up mesmerized by a faded Asian carpet that hung high in the main hallway of his family's home. It depicted desert nomads seated on a rug spread over sand, camped between palm trees, their camels pastured nearby. A couple of hunting dogs stood anxious, awaiting their meal, and in the background rose the rolling desert sea of nondescript dunes, forever undulating toward the horizon, frozen in time. It was a destination he longed to see for himself-and over the years that followed, he did. Skousen enjoys visiting the Middle East for archeology digs or just for renewing friendships. He is a journalist by trade, finished graduate school at Georgetown University, worked as an analyst at the CIA, and was assigned to the Situation Room as an intelligence officer in the White House. He is a professor of communications, married father of ten, grandfather to 37 (and growing), and is the author of the three-volume Bassam series and several non-fiction books on politics and history.
