About this ebook

Saharan Africa, AD 670: As the daughter of a chief, Dahiya knows what it takes to lead an army against the Arabic invaders. Her ambition threatens her rivals, who believe a woman’s place is in bed rather than on a battlefield.

War is coming. Dahiya has neither men nor arms. Her people are divided, and her nearest ally is a thousand miles across the sands. Her only choice is to fight beside Apsimar, the charismatic leader of the Greek fleet.

Dahiya sees an equal. Apsimar sees the woman behind the sword.

Love is about to become a battlefield.

A prequel to the Visigoths of Spain series.

What readers are saying:

"I read until 3am, woke up, and read until I finished it. The writing is next level."

"Delivers on the epic promise in the title...a big punch for a novella size."

"Took me into a world and time I knew nothing about. Left me panting for the series."

"Dahiya is a bad ass!"

Very well written! Character development with the heart of every person's emotional conflicts. There's no false bravado, no magical emotional removal. This tale has cultured rawness.

excellent! I received this book for free, but the review is my own. This was a moving story, glorious in the most raw sense of victory over evil circumstances.

This is a beautiful story of love, courage and bravery. As a woman I find it very inspiring and I feel a deep sense of pride being a woman while reading this book. Thank you for writing such a beautiful book.

About the author

Between 2004-2007, Paula Constant walked over 12000km through eight countries, including over 7000km through the Sahara with her own camel train. The journey forms the basis of her first two books, Slow Journey South and Sahara, both works of travel memoir published by Random House.

She divides her time between Granada, Spain, and Broome, north western Australia.
