the caravanserai bride
Kemet (Egypt) 2966 B.C.E.
Alone in the desert without even a pair of sandals to her name, Lunja joins a caravan bound for the largest outpost in the western desert. The best she can hope for is a life of service, while hiding the secret that has haunted her family for generations. When a handsome stranger rescues her at the slave auction, Lunja must choose whether to trust him with a terrible truth, or risk discovery, thereby losing the man she’s grown to love.
Senna is heart-broken when the woman he loves chooses another. To win her back, he resolves to prove he can be a responsible husband. How better to do that, then by marrying someone else? When he wakes after a night of revelry to find a strange young woman in his kitchen, Senna must choose whether to ignore his conscience and cast her out, or keep her and risk forever losing the woman he wants to win back.
Follow Lunja and Senna as they chance exile and loss to find themselves – and love – in a desert caravanserai.
