Justice and divided loyalties in the postwar Southwest

Set in post–Civil War America, the novel follows Omar, an army officer and former enslaved man who is also Muslim. A request from his late friend’s widow to help arrest the friend’s murderer draws him into a struggle over power across the Southwest. Apache warriors, Mexican revolutionaries, and Confederate soldiers figure among the forces in the conflict, placing Omar’s personal loyalties alongside his duty to the law. The Sonora Desert provides the setting for a story that brings together a pursuit of justice, political upheaval, and romance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical fiction set in the post–Civil War American Southwest.
  • Readers seeking fiction that brings Muslim identity and the legacy of enslavement into a western setting.
  • Readers interested in stories of murder, political conflict, and romance.

Book overview

Omar is an army officer, ex-slave, and a Muslim in post-Civil War America. When the beautiful widow of his late friend asks for help to arrest his murderer, Omar has little reason to object. But he soon finds himself tangled in the multitude of powers vying to take control of the Southwest-from Apache warriors to Mexican revolutionaries and Confederate soldiers-that threaten his own loyalties and duty to the law.

Ripe with danger, politics, and a dash of romance, Omar's journey across the Sonora Desert could either bring justice to those dear to him or very well kill him.
