From Saladin Ahmed, finalist for the Nebula and Campbell Awards,
comes one of the year's most anticipated fantasy debuts: THRONE OF
THE CRESCENT MOON, a fantasy adventure with all the magic of "The
Arabian Nights."
The Crescent Moon Kingdoms, home to djenn and ghuls, holy
warriors and heretics, are at the boiling point of a power struggle
between the iron- fisted Khalif and the mysterious master thief
known as the Falcon Prince. In the midst of this brewing rebellion
a series of brutal supernatural murders strikes at the heart of the
Kingdoms. It is up to a handful of heroes to learn the truth behind
these killings.
Doctor Adoulla Makhslood, "the last real ghul hunter in the
great city of Dhamsawaat," just wants a quiet cup of tea. Three
score and more years old, he has grown weary of hunting monsters
and saving lives, and is more than ready to retire from his
dangerous and demanding vocation. But when an old flame's family is
murdered, Adoulla is drawn back to the hunter's path.
Raseed bas Raseed, Adoulla's young assistant, is a hidebound
holy warrior whose prowess is matched only by his piety. But even
as Raseed's sword is tested by ghuls and manjackals, his soul is
tested when he and Adoulla cross paths with the tribeswoman
Zamia.
Zamia Badawi, Protector of the Band, has been gifted with the
near- mythical power of the lion-shape, but shunned by her people
for daring to take up a man's title. She lives only to avenge her
father's death. Until she learns that Adoulla and his allies also
hunt her father's killer. Until she meets Raseed.
When they learn that the murders and the Falcon Prince's brewing
revolution are connected, the companions must race against time-and
struggle against their own misgivings-to save the life of a vicious
despot. In so doing they discover a plot for the Throne of the
Crescent Moon that threatens to turn Dhamsawaat, and the world
itself, into a blood-soaked ruin.
