They left his patrol for dead, mutilated under the desert sun.
But they made one fatal mistake.
They took the wrong man alive!
Sahara desert, 1940–1960. Legionnaire Teuns Stegmann was sentenced to die a gruesome death, a brutal message from the ruthless sorceress queen, El Karima. Left for the eagles on a hill of bones, his impossible escape ignites a furious manhunt across the unforgiving Sahara. Now, he’s not just running for his life. He’s hunting the very source of El Karima’s fanatical power.
The prize is the legendary Sword of Doetra, a sacred blade that promises to drown the desert in blood. Aided by a lone Arab warrior, Teuns must steal the artifact from an impenetrable fortress, turning a desperate escape into a daring heist. If they fail, the entire region will fall to El Karima’s unstoppable army.
Meanwhile, the cunning Captain D’Arlan leads an elite patrol on a suicide mission, a ghost in the dunes designed to lure the queen into a deadly trap. With thousands of warriors closing in from all sides, survival depends on a final, desperate gamble that will either save the Legion or see them all buried in a nameless grave.
A relentless storm of classic action and high-stakes mystery, this is a must-read for fans of Wilbur Smith and Bernard Cornwell. If you crave gripping historical adventure, tales of the legendary French Foreign Legion, and a battle for survival against impossible odds, your search is over.
