'Falconer's grasp of period and place is almost flawless. He's my kind of writer.'Peter Corris
An unforgettable epic adventure for readers of Wilbur Smith, Ken Follett and Conn Iggulden.
A fallen soldier.
A ruthless warlord.
A kingdom on the edge of collapse.
Some men go looking for fortune.
Others find destiny.
Morocco, 1893
Once Harry Delhaze wore a soldier's uniform with pride. Now he has nothing.
No money.
No future.
No reason to hope.
Until an old comrade offers him one last chance.
Travel to Morocco.
Help the Sultan crush a rebellion.
Return home a wealthy man.
It should have been easy. Instead, Harry rides into one of the most dangerous places on earth.
Across burning deserts...
through ancient kasbahs...
into the snow-capped Atlas Mountains...
where rival tribes wage endless war and every stranger is a target.
Waiting for him is Bou Hamra - a warlord feared across Morocco.
Master of ancient fortresses.
Commander of fanatical warriors.
Keeper of lions.
A man determined to build a kingdom of his own.
Captured deep inside enemy territory, Harry soon discovers that escaping alive will take more than courage.
It will demand every instinct he possesses.
Because in Morocco, trust is a luxury.
Mercy is unknown.
And the greatest danger is the one he never sees coming.
Sweeping from the bustling souks of Marrakesh to the wild frontiers of the Atlas Mountains, Lord of the Atlas is an epic tale of survival, betrayal and adventure in one of the last great untamed kingdoms on earth.
Perfect for readers who love epic adventures set in exotic lands.
