About
Forbidden: In the unforgiving Mesopotamian desert
where Jayden’s tribe lives, betrothal celebrations abound, and
tonight it is Jayden’s turn to be honored. But while this union
with Horeb, the son of her tribe’s leader, will bring a life of
riches and restore her family’s position within the tribe, it will
come at the price of Jayden’s heart.
Then a shadowy boy from the Southern
Lands appears. Handsome and mysterious, Kadesh fills Jayden’s heart
with a passion she never knew possible. But with Horeb’s
increasingly violent threats haunting Jayden’s every move, she
knows she must find a way to escape—or die trying.
With a forbidden romance blossoming in
her heart and her family’s survival on the line, Jayden must embark
on a deadly journey to save the ones she loves—and find a true love
for herself.
Set against the brilliant backdrop of
the sprawling desert, the story of Jayden and Kadesh will leave
readers absolutely breathless as they defy the odds and risk it all
to be together.
