NAHAR
“It was as pretty a piece of swordwork as the Mrrrg captain had ever witnessed. He thought: Queen, dancing girl, pleasure slave, and now shield maiden. I wonder what else this human female has up her sleeve.”
Nahar is the beautiful young queen of Samandal, a city-state located on the rich trade routes linking the Inner Regions of the desert with the Kurgon Empire. She rules alone and well until Samandal is threatened by the Mrrrg, a semi-human race of ferocious and savage conquerors. Their paramount warlord, Timur, uses warcraft and magick to take Samandal and its queen. His searing gaze and electrifying touch capture both her body and heart, leaving her torn between love and desire and her duty to her people. Her city fallen, she is held captive within a web of unbridled male desire, not only of Timur but of Bahadur, her Captain of the Guards, and Gimbutal, Timur’s cruel and cunning rival for leadership of the Mrrrg horde.
Forced to serve the pleasure of the conquering Mrrrg yet recognizing in Timur her soul’s complement, Nahar finds herself plunged into a world where she not only experiences the depths of her own sensuality but embarks upon a profound voyage of self-discovery. Timur also finds himself torn, for Nahar has captured his heart as well. Yet he cannot appear weak before the Mrrrg and so must leave her as a pleasure slave—a fact that Gimbutal strives to use in unseating him.
Meanwhile, the powerful matriarchs who rule Samandal’s Great Houses move in secret to foment revolt and free their city from the Mrrrg, and Nahar’s cousin, the princess Estara, must come to terms with her own involvement with power, desire, and destiny along with Bahadur.
Within this swirling maelstrom of war and intrigue, passion and desire, Nahar must find her way not only to the perfection of love with Timur, but to her own self-realization.

Please be advised, Nahar is trigger-heavy, with scenes of intense warfare and violence and coerced sex. It is not intended for the faint of heart!
