Her kiss was a promise.
Her touch was a lie.
His blood is the price for a war that will burn the Sahara to ashes.
Sahara desert, 1940–1960. Teuns Stegmann is a legend in the French Foreign Legion, a man who has faced death in the desert and always walked away. But when a mysterious dancer’s enchanting smile leads him from a cabaret in Algiers into a sophisticated trap, his holiday leave becomes a one-way ticket to the most brutal prison on Earth.
He is the prisoner of the merciless Brigitte Bonnet, the white queen of a lost city, who holds a personal vendetta against him. Worse, the legendary Sword of Doetra, a holy relic that can unite the desert tribes, has been stolen. Stegmann is to be the ritual sacrifice, his blood used daily to fuel a coming holy war that will drown the French empire in violence.
