About this audiobook
They sentenced a rebel queen to die at dawn.
By sunrise, she was gone… and five heroes were taken to pay the price.
Sahara desert, 1940-1960. Captain D’Arlan of the French Foreign Legion and his elite soldiers thought their war was over. They’d captured Brigitte Bonnet, the beautiful and ruthless leader of the Doelak warriors. But on the eve of her execution, she vanishes from a locked cell, aided by a traitor who sells them all for gold.
Ambushed and taken prisoner, D’Arlan and his men are dragged into the merciless dunes by a treacherous merchant. Their new prison is the endless sand, their sentence a slow, agonizing death. Brutally tortured for a secret they swore to protect, the location of the legendary Sabre of Doetra, every passing hour is a new nightmare of pain and thirst.
With loyalty fractured and their bodies broken, their only weapons are their wits and an unbreakable will to survive. But as hope fades and the vultures begin to circle, they face a final, horrifying choice. Reveal the secret that could ignite a war, or die protecting it.
A relentless military action-adventure layered with the high-stakes tension of a classic thriller. Perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean, Wilbur Smith, and pulse-pounding historical fiction.
