Her land had been claimed by the Romans, and now it faced invasion by a more dangerous force to the east. But the beautiful Cahena was gifted with second sight, and she would use it to protect her people from the enemy... even if it meant turning from God.

The historical novel by the award-winning Dov Silverman traces the life of The Cahena, who reigned as Berber Queen in 7th century Northern Africa. Her resistance to Rome and, later, the Muslim conquest of Maghreb in the region known as Numidia has become the stuff of legends.
