To lovely Penelope Derby, the Sudan was a romantic place, a country filled with exotic sights and mystical dreams. But her days of happiness would turn to nights of terror as the dangerous Cesda Hayin, daughter of the ravishing Lazar, lured her to The City of the Dead--taunting her with the vicious practices and mesmerizing rites of the Coptic cults.Only the handsome Michael Pelham Graham would dare to pursue her to the heart of the Arab camp, daring a rescue that would finally convince her of his love. But the greatest test still awaits her, as she confronts the British commander, General Charles Gordon... learning at last the secret of her birth and solving the mystery of her hidden past.
