The Sword and the Well
-- The Conclusion . . . In the early years of Islam, three lives braid together. Khalid ibn al-Wald never lost a battle, either fighting against the Prophet Muhammad or for him. "Women no longer give birth to the likes of Khalid," the Prophet said. In old age, the general dictates his memoirs to a eunuch scribe, with a new perspective to all the blood he shed. In the desert oasis of Tadmor, twelve-year-old Rayah discovers the dangers of accepting her new religion and her own power. And her mother, in hiding, speaks her real name for the first time in thirteen years. --Volume Three of
The Sword and the Well Trilogy
