A Wind in Cairo

Award-winning author Judith Tarr here creates a feast for the imagination and the heart. With rich, evocative prose, she fashions the magical world of medieval Egypt – a world in which a most remarkable tale unfolds.

Hasan, a spoiled, pleasure-seeking emir's son, gravely offends the most powerful magus in the land. The sorcerer retaliates by transforming Hasan into a spirited stallion with Hasan's human intelligence. Thus begins an enthralling, dramatic journey that will take Hasan and his beautiful new owner from the silent deserts into the teeth of war, from the depths of desperation to the edge of impossible love.
