A novel written in the early 20th century.

The saga unfolds over themes of love, fate, and the intersection of the mortal and immortal worlds.

With Leo Vincey at his side, Holly elaborates on a vivid dream Leo had of Ayesha, which rekindles both hope and determination to navigate the hardships they will encounter in Central Asia.
