Ten legionnaires survived the hell storm of the Sahara.
They should have died in the dunes, because what waited at Fort Laval was far worse.
Sahara desert, 1940–1960. Sergeant Teuns Stegmann, a battle-hardened legionnaire haunted by a personal quest, has dragged his exhausted men through sand and fire to their only sanctuary. But instead of safety, they find a silent fortress of death. Vultures feast on the ramparts, a cryptic message is scrawled in blood, and the only soul left alive is a beautiful, vengeful woman who holds the key to their destruction.
Trapped by a relentless army, thousands strong, and betrayed from within his own ranks, Stegmann is caught in a deadly siege. Surrender means a gruesome, ancient execution, but fighting is a suicide mission. To save his men, he must confront a skeleton from his past and outwit an enemy who anticipates his every move, knowing that in the Sahara, the most dangerous weapon is hope itself.
Blending the classic, gritty action of the French Foreign Legion with the suspense of a modern thriller, this novel is a relentless descent into chaos. Perfect for fans of Wilbur Smith and Lee Child who crave tales of survival against impossible odds.
