The Amir
Acre has fallen.
In the frantic days after the Mamluk army brutally sacked their city, Sidika and Emre find themselves in Egypt at the house of an ambitious amir to Sultan al-Ashraf Khalil. Emre, reinstated to his position in the Mamluk army, plays a dangerous game, pitting the sultan’s amirs against each other in a bid to increase his influence in the royal court. Sidika, captured as a slave, can only think of Henri and escape. But when Emre comes up with a risky plan to help her flee Cairo, how far is she willing to go for her freedom?
Henri, now living in Francia among hostile relatives, dreams of finding Sidika and ransoming her, but he cannot avoid a nobleman’s duties: arranged marriage awaits him. As he attempts to settle into his new life, a group of outcasts arrives in Maron, causing an uproar. By protecting them, Henri does what he knows is right, but the consequences could be deadly.
Love, lust, revenge, and loss push Henri, Sidika, and Emre toward adulthood in the third book in The Two Daggers series, following them through social and political turbulence at the sunset of the Levantine crusades.
What reviewers are saying
"It has been a long time since I read a book that caused such a change in emotion within a few short chapters, and I cannot wait to see how the story continues."
~ The History Quill
"It is Sidika and her experiences that really thrilled during the novel. She is an incredibly strong character, and I can't wait to read more of her story in book 4. An engrossing story, and one I thoroughly enjoyed."
~Kobo
“The mark of a great historical fiction is to put the reader in the time and the place of the story. Anderson does that expertly. While reading "The Amir" I was in France, or Egypt. When I put the book down, I had to remember that the year is 2022, not 1292.”
