She was born on the streets; he was born to rule ...

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.

Katie's escape leads her into the desert and the tent of a powerful rebel leader. Posing as a mute boy, she does whatever she can to prevent anyone from discovering her true identity as she searches for a way to warn the King of Simdan.

Can a King who has returned to claim his rightful place and a street-smart American woman hiding as a boy in a far-off country discover love before the assassins finish what they have started?
