A few words from the Authoress This book grew from a short story I wrote a few years back... moreAmadi is searching for the lost members of her family, but her old enemies haven't given up yet.

A few words from the Authoress This book grew from a short story I wrote a few years back. Beta-readers loved the story but though it too short to truly develop the world. First reluctantly, then with more and more enthusiasm, I reread the Tales from the Arabian Nights, studied books about life in Arabian countries (after all I didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes), and developed the plot. Writing Amadi’s adventures went surprisingly fast. I hope you’ll find some of my fascination for this intriguing culture in this book. less
