Upon the arrival of the Romans to the Egyptian shore,
Cleopatra is forced to any early demise. Now the Romans
will not be satisfied until all of her blood relatives
suffer the same fate. The Tausrat family was forced to
flee or face death at the hands of the Romans. They know
it is only a matter of time before they can avenge the
wrongs the Romans have done to their relatives.
Julian Tausrat, son of Cleopatra's half sister and a Badari
Prince, is now ready to return to Egypt and take his place
among his people. He is needed to unite the Badari as one
tribe and bring an end to the rumors of a new leader
rising. However, he cannot forget the wrongs done to his
family, and that the Romans search for him still. He also
remembers the young girl that was loyal to him, and wonders
about her fate. Can he see to his mission to reunite his
tribe? Will he allow his feeling for a young woman to
block the path that he must follow? Can he even trust her?
Sabinah is an Egyptian to the core and despises the Romans
with a passion. Unfortunately her stepmother and
stepsister have no such qualms and will do anything to
secure their future. They lure the Romans with their
bodies, and live off the spoils that they receive. Sabinah
is encouraged to do the same as the Roman leader shows an
interest in her. When she learns that Julian has returned,
she plots behind everyone's back to help him. Will Julian
believe her? Will she escape the advances of the Roman who
is determined to have her? What exactly does fate have in
store for not only for her but also for Egypt itself?
Constance O'Banyon has quite a knack for transporting you
to ancient Egypt. Her characters and descriptions are so
vividly lifelike that you very easily imagine yourself in
the story. Julian is a strong man determined to prove
himself. Sabinah is a spirited woman who will risk
anything to restore Egypt to its former glory. The
mistrust and the passion between them provide an uneasy
tension that slowly boils over, and when it does you are in
for an enjoyable ride. THE DESERT PRINCE mixes a bit of
romance, with a bit of history, with a bit of action to
create a masterpiece. Ms. O'Banyon is an author that knows
how to hook a reader and keep them riveted. I look forward
to her next historical romance.
Egypt had finally fallen under the mighty fist of Rome.
Queen Cleopatra lay entombed in the arms of her lover, and a
false emperor ascended to the throne.…
Young Julian Tausrat, Prince of the Badari and blood kin to
the late Queen, was forced to flee Egypt. On the island of
Bal Forea, he trained in the ways of the warrior and waited
for the day when he could return to claim the desert land
that was his birthright and the girl who had refused to
betray him.
The Sabinah he found was no longer the child who had
shadowed his footsteps, nor the slender young woman whose
untutored kisses had awakened his own desire. This Sabinah
held a secret that could free Egypt from Roman tyranny…or
sentence Julian and his people to death. Only by trusting in
her courage and his own strength could the Desert Prince
save both the people he was destined to rule and the woman
he was fated to love.
