The Chronicles of Sword and Sand

The Desert of Souls (The Chronicles of Sword and Sand #1) by Howard Andrew Jones

Baghdad, AD 790: Caliph Harun al-Rashid presides over the greatest metropolis on Earth, ruler of an empire that stretches from China to Byzantium. His exploits will be recorded in Alf Layla or, as we know it, The Book of One Thousand and One Nights. However, The Thousand and One Nights are silent on the deeds and adventures that befell two of the Caliph’s subjects: the renowned scholar Dabir ibn Kahlil, and his shield and right hand, Asim el Abbas.

For their story, we must turn to The Chronicles of Sword and Sand...

The Chronicles tell of necromancers and the walking dead, of djinn and demi-gods, of vengeful spirits and ancient magi and the unbreakable bond of friendship between the two men who faced them all.

The Chronicles of Sword and Sand consists of two primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
