By: Tracy Higley

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

An epic quest across the sands of Arabia

In the exotic lands of the east, a secret sect of Persian magicians study the night sky for generations.
When the stars announce a strange royal birth, Misha, a first-level mage, is ready to prove himself by chasing down this new world leader.
But then an ancient document surfaces, whispering of an artifact of immense power.
The temptation to seize power is too great to resist.
And Misha is not alone in his quest.
The king’s general Reza seeks power to fulfill his mysterious destiny, and both he and Misha have their eye set on the Egyptian princess Kamillah, who will do anything to gain the artifact that could break her bondage to the sorcerer Zahir.
The soldier, the mage and the princess each has a secret to protect.
But if they are going to survive the dark forces warring for their prize, they must learn to trust each other—in what will surely be the journey of a lifetime.

Star of Wonder

This virtual voice had no life in it, but the story is a thrilling ride through ancient Arabia, where stars, secrets, and power collide. A young mage, a driven soldier, and a fierce Egyptian princess are all chasing the same legendary artifact—each for their own reasons.

The world is rich with mystery and danger, and the tension between the characters kept me hooked. It’s a tale of ambition, trust, and unexpected alliances. If you enjoy epic quests with a touch of magic and heart, you’ll like this journey.

Virtual voice definitely took away from the story.

A person reading the book would do this story justice. Virtual voice bizarrely mispronounces words and the inflection is not easy to understand or follow.
