Marrakesh, 1893. Harry Delhaze has nothing left but regrets and a bottle.
Once a soldier, now disgraced and drifting, Harry jumps at the chance to earn easy cash helping the Sultan put down a rebellion in Morocco. It sounds simple enough. But Morocco has other plans. The rebel warlord Bou Hamra is no ordinary enemy, and Harry soon finds himself in a fight he never saw coming.
From palace intrigue to brutal battles, ancient artillery to caged lions, this journey takes Harry deep into the wild Atlas Mountains and even deeper into his own limits. Captured by the mysterious Lord of the Atlas, Harry is no longer chasing a payday. He’s fighting to survive.
Adventure, betrayal, and courage collide in this sweeping historical epic.
