Fire Of Heaven

The stories of "Al Maksour", the long-held sword of Selim's tribe tell of extraordinary power and great blessing falling on its owners. It lays shattered and rotting and Selim and his tribe have seen neither power nor blessing from it.

Hidden deep in Arabia in pre-Islamic times, Selim and his surprisingly talented newfound Scythian friend and former rival, Ishkuz, set out to unravel the ancient mysteries of the sword. Selim's tribe has bred the best desert Arabian horses for generations and it is these that carry them on their journey of discovery.

 Their horses' reputation for speed and beauty grows as they travel to Cairo and race against the best horses of the king of Egypt.

Their story is one of freedom discovered, love found, blessing, power and a new respect for the horses of the desert.
