To say that Anaxa Wren has had a hard life would be the understatement of the year. At eight years old her parents were murdered before her eyes and she was forced to fend for herself. Now a grown woman, she is known as "the Terror of the Desert" or "The Dark One".

 

She is hateful, bitter and hell bent on revenge.

 

Prince Amira Kazim has a problem--someone is trying to kill him! He seeks out the help of the elusive Anaxa but the last thing she wants to do is get involved with the Royal family of Noneah. Amir sees her and, even though he knows it can only end badly, he wants her. But there's a secret lurking around the royal family that could destroy Amir before the killer does.

 

Together, and with the help of Amir's best friend Naheed, Anaxa and Amir must fight their hearts and the evil that lives to see Amir dead.
