Throne of the Crescent Moon (Excerpt)
Epic Fantasy, Fantasy || The Crescent Moon Kingdoms, home to djenn and ghuls, holy warriors and heretics, are at the boiling point of a power struggle between the iron- fisted Khalif and the mysterious master thief known as the Falcon Prince. In the midst of this brewing rebellion a series of brutal supernatural murders strikes at the heart of the Kingdoms. It is up to a handful of heroes to learn the truth behind these killings.
When these few Doctor Adoulla Makhslood, "the last real ghul hunter in the great city of Dhamsawaat," Raseed bas Raseed, Adoulla's young assistant, and Zamia Badawi, Protector of the Band learn that the murders and the Falcon Prince's brewing revolution are connected, the companions must race against time-and struggle against their own misgivings-to save the life of a vicious despot. In so doing they discover a plot for the Throne of the Crescent Moon that threatens to turn Dhamsawaat, and the world itself, into a blood-soaked ruin.
