Persion Prince: Book 3

The Persian Prince: Book 3

Turning West concludes the adventures of Ardeshir ben Nabonidus after he, Prince of Persia, runs off with the Han Emperor’s daughter. All Ardeshir wants is peace and truth while proving himself to his father. He completes his return home only to discover his farm in Persia has burned to the ground, his warrior-sister taken east, his gladiator-father kidnapped by murderous thugs heading west for Rome, and his young wife without shelter for their newborn son. Meanwhile, the Maji are determined to set him on the throne of Persia so that he can succeed his aunt.

Still uncertain of his skills to handle any of the challenges facing him, Ardeshir must strengthen his faith, courage, allegiances, and strategies to reach beyond himself and choose to face every hardship in succession as soon as possible. What will become of him as he faces odds too big to manage in a world aligned against him? How can he overcome the impossible when his story feels more than over?

The author has always had a great way with story-telling and this was no disappointment. The characters are well-developed and I felt as if I knew each of them as I read along. He describes the people and places with just the right amount of attention to detail. The pictures he draws with words are amazing and take me back to a different time in life...

"Great Read. I loved this young woman's story of how she is searching for herself, romance, and her lost faith in God. As Katie reads her journals -- this happens throughout the book -- I could get a wonderful visual of life in Kenya. Throw in some mystery and intrigue and this book is a must read!"

" Thought provoking and memory inducing....
Even if you never lived in Africa, this is a great read. If you had the privilege of going to school at Rift Valley Academy it is a fantastic memory tickler. A whole lot of story is jammed into the pages of this novel."
