Twelve Kings in Sharakhai

An epic fantasy story with Arabian elements unfolds in a vast city amid desert sands. Power over the city is held by the Twelve Kings, who have ruled for many centuries. They possess a mighty army and special defenders, and no one has managed to oppose them for four hundred years. However, the main heroine, Cheda, decides to challenge these ancient rulers when she uncovers a terrible truth about the past of the kings and her own origins. Her discovery could change the course of events—but only if she can avoid the power of the Twelve Kings.
