Once a mighty kingdom reigned, but now all is chaos. In the vast reaches of the desert, a young heretic escapes certain death and embarks on a mission of madness and glory. He is El Murid—the Disciple—who vows to bring order, prosperity and righteousness to the desert people of Hammad al Nakir. El Murid incites rebellion against the godless kingdoms and tribes as he plots to execute the justice of the desert. After four long centuries, El Murid is the savior who is destined to build a new empire from the blood his enemies. Or so it seems. El Murid has victory in his grasp, the desert tribes of Hammad al Nakir are rallying around him, and the last remaining thread of the royal lineage wanders the desert with only Heathens to help him. But all is not as it seems, and the sinister forces pulling the strings of empire come into the light. Who and what lies behind El Murid’s vision of a desert empire?

Love Conquers All! Kali Mathias knew that, being cursed with a beauty like hers, it was less likely for a man’s eye to want a second glimpse of her. That is, not until the day her eye rested upon Mr. Glen Monroe—the one man who would not easily be had. A woman needed an exclusive invitation to taste the passion that awaited them inside Glen’s empire. It was a colorful world of green where a taste of love portrayed revenge, deceit, and lust and where a beautiful woman could partake of such pleasures. Glen and Kali were both undergoing a broken heart at the hands of a twisted shade of green when they first met. Glen got Kali, and Kali got Glen. Kali thought she would never be acceptable. She was not slim enough, not tall enough, or pretty enough to please a man. On the other hand, Glen knew he was more than enough; he was handsome and breathtaking at the same time. He was more than enough for any woman to behold. Regardless of that discord, they both confusingly questioned their faith in God and opted for a doltish lifestyle. Hers based on a lustful appetite; his based on revenge. Glen’s faith was almost null to the point where he believed that all he had was enough to get him through life. And Kali, on the other hand, had the notion God just wasn’t working fast enough—not quicker than her cash. Glen and Kali were two lost people trying to survive in a world minus a heavenly net—God! They lost their way, but God never forgot them. He defeated the hands of Satan by refuting a pair of wrongful eyes from an unjust sight of Kali in the arms of another man. God embodied Kali with a heart of compassion to forgive Glen, flaws and all. Instead, God turned one date between two total opposite hearts into one that required each other to be alive in the midst of any storm. Also, God taught both Glen and Kali a lesson. He taught her to realize that not everything had a price tag, not real love! And he taught him that even love can conquer the grips of a heart’s revenge!
