Description

In the scorching heart of the Arabian desert, a young Bedouin named Kanana grows up under the shadow of his tribe’s fierce reputation. While his brothers are trained for battle, Kanana is assigned the humble duties of shepherding, milking, and tending the family’s camp, earning him the teasing label of “coward” among his peers. His quiet, thoughtful nature sets him apart in a world where strength and aggression are prized above all else.

Yet the tribe’s legends speak of a priceless relic—a lance once wielded by a hero whose name still sparks reverence. Though Kanana has never lifted a weapon, the old stories and the whispered reverence of elders plant a seed of destiny within him. As tribal tensions rise and the desert threatens to swallow hope, the stage is set for this reluctant youth to confront the expectations of his people and discover a role he never imagined he could fulfill.

About the author

HW

Harry W. (Harry Willard) French

1854–1915

An American writer and newspaper correspondent, he turned wide-ranging curiosity into books about art, travel, politics, and adventure. His work moves easily from real-world observation to fast-paced fiction set in places that would have felt thrillingly far away to his readers.
