An Epic Quest Across the Sands of Arabia

In Part 2 of this sweeping historical adventure, a conflicted soldier must choose between his scholarly dreams and embracing a royal destiny he never wanted.

General Reza leads his caravan of Persian soldiers through the ancient city of Petra, a crossroads on the incense road where secrets are traded like currency.

Haunted by a birthright he has tried to escape, Reza seeks only to protect an ancient relic on the journey back to his home city of Nisa. But his father has greater plans for Reza—to lead an uprising and take his place as the rightful king.

As Reza struggles with the weight of his impending leadership, treachery brews among his men who would proclaim his royal identity. His closest companions, Misha and Kamillah, may be the only ones he can trust.

Yet Reza finds himself caught between Misha's religious devotion and a growing closeness with Kamillah.

In the hidden canyons of Petra, Reza must decide—continue fleeing from his preordained path, or embrace a role he was born to play. Will he defy his father's wishes and determine his own future? Or will he seize his prophesied power and change the course of an empire?

An evocative story of destiny and desire, Star of Night transports readers to a lost world of splendor, secrets, and intrigue in an immersive tale of one man's battle between the longing of his heart and the fate imposed upon him.
