TEMPTRESS. MONSTER. WARRIOR.
Aicha tells the tale of Morocco's warrior goddess, her strange magic, vicious rebellion and devastating romance. This is a story of female rage and lesser known myths, perfect for fans of She Who Became the Sun, The Jasmine Throne and Circe.The Portuguese flag has been planted across Morocco, its empire ruling with an iron fist. But eventually, all empires must fall. Aicha, the daughter of a Moroccan freedom-fighter, was born for battle. She has witnessed the death of her people, their starvation and torture at the hands of the occupiers, and it has awakened an anger within her. An anger that burns hot and bright, and speaks to Aicha's soul.Only Aicha's secret lover Rachid, a rebellion leader, knows how to soothe her. But as the fight for Morocco's freedom reaches it violent climax, the creature that simmers beneath Aicha's skin begs to be unleashed. It hungers for the screams of those who have caused her pain, and it will not be ignored.Author Bio
