Sheikh Raja Hadi, the heir to the Kingdom of Simdan, was taken by a stranger when he was a boy. His abduction saved his life. Raised far from home, he is forced to watch as his uncle destroys the legacy of his father.

Katie Ashe longs for adventure. Raised by her deaf mother, her life has revolved around staying one step ahead of the local gangs. A six-month internship teaching sign language in Jawahir offers Katie a chance to see the world. Her dreams turn into nightmares when she uncovers a plot to kill the legendary Savior of Simdan.
