Abstract:
Carnage, conflict, and intrigue weave the ancient tapestry of the people of Daghestan—and fuel hatred between Russians and Turkish tribesmen.

Against a backdrop rich in history, with relentless assaults and reprisals, threads of romance permeate the story. Prince Omalat Bey’s unfailing love for the woman who healed his body and stole his heart and the unlikely friendship of the Russian commander who stayed his execution command the narrative.

Under Russian bondage, Prince Omalat Bey becomes the prize and pawn of the enemy. But loyalty and honour carry a swift sentence as Omalat Bey hurtles toward an undeniably startling conclusion.
