Luckily she has help: ruggedly handsome Scottish warrior Artair MacKay, her protector and teacher.
An immortal, Artair has trained countless warriors for more than four hundred years. He understands Rebecca's confusion at the new world she's been thrust into and worries she is too emotionally vulnerable, but that doesn't stop his growing feelings for the beautiful and fearless woman.
When an evil force threatens to destroy the Amazons, Rebecca must claim her full powers - but they come at a cost. Can she sacrifice the man she loves if it means saving the world?

"A young Pakistani, Changez, relays the story of his life thus far to an American in a cafe in Lahore. Changez describes his love for America, his contempt for America, his love life, his education, career and family. It was thought provoking to hear the story from the Pakistani side of the table and it provided me with perspective, which is never a bad thing. I am still contemplating the very open ending. I can appreciate the effect that an open ending provides, but I need closure. This is a literary piece from beginning to end. From the technique the author uses to tell the story to the names given to the central characters. [return][return]Thought provoking and brilliant." — Nick (4 out of 5 stars)

" A quick read, a lot of it probably went right over my head and I'm not sure I liked the style if writing, a good story though. "
" a story of Pakistani Youngman whom has been living the American Dream than he had to desert his love and his easy life to fight peacefully for his nation "

" I think it is very close to a classic in the modern era of religious fundamentalism and the perceptions surrounding it... "
" Taught economic prose but conveying a full picture of the world's troubles. The narrators change of heart and perspective on life was fascinating and had a thriller like appeal. "
" I felt like this book was pushing an agenda rather than telling a story. "
" So compelling of a read. I had to fight with myself to put it down for even a moment, and I was actually saddened to reach the end. This was the type of book in which you can completely engross yourself in and lose track of time. "
" I couldn't get pass it was a blatant rip-off of Albert Camus' "The Fall", but then again that doesn't necessarily make it a bad book. It's a quick read and otherwise interesting. "

" Another great read, Written in a refreshing way "

" Nice and short, unpretentious prose yet rich in characterisation and evocative of modern context. "
