Description
Dash and Laila are only 16. Their life paths have been set by their families and should never cross, until they do. Laila’s father’s small plane, riddled with bullet holes, crashes at the edge of the Sahara. Dash is nearby on his dirt bike and rescues the survivors. Laila’s father charges Dash with taking Laila to safety in Morocco – on foot, across the Atlas Mountains. They have to take the dangerous high route because the mountains are swarming with dangerous rebels. Gradually their fates are foreshadowed – and neither of them like what is revealed. How can Dash and Laila overcome their destinies?

My thanks to NetGalley and Black Rose Writing for this advance copy.
The setting of this novel was the greatest attraction, but I certainly didn’t bargain on what was in store: Dihya the Berber warrior-queen and seer who led her people against the Arab Invasion of North Africa in the 7th century CE, Ferrous the Bear and Cleo the snake!
This is an intriguing love story of two 16 year old Algerians from very different backgrounds. It is an intelligent novel, allowing the reader to drift into a make believe world but travel from the Atlas Mountains to the northern Moroccan cities appreciating the changing landscape. A fast paced, easy read with humour.
