Rose Of The Prophet Books

Since time began, twenty Gods have ruled the  universe. Though each god possessed different  abilities, each was all-powerful within his realm. Now  one of the Gods has upset the balance of power,  leaving the others scrambling for control in the new  order... Here is the epic tale of  the Great War of the Gods--and the proud people  upon whom the fate of the world depends. When the  God of the desert, Akhran the Wanderer, declares  that two clans must band together despite their  centuries-old rivalry, their first response is  outrage. But they are a devout people and so reluctantly  bow to his bidding. Enemies from  birth, the headstrong Prince Khardan and impetuous  Princess Zohra must unite in marriage to stop  Quar, the God of Reality, Greed, and Law, from  enslaving their people. But can Khardan  and Zohra keep from betraying each other? Can  their two peoples maintain their fragile alliance  until the long-awaited flowering of the legendary Rose of the Prophet? Against the powerful legions of the evil Amir, Khardan and Zohra  fight to save the desert people--a fight  unexpectedly joined by an exiled wizard named Matthew and  the mysterious powers of his alien land.

The Great War of the Gods means nothing to the  proud people on the mortal planet--until Akhran the  Wandering God decrees the union of two mighty  feuding clans. Though the families are fierce  Warriors, they are few in number. Even the marriage of  Khardan and Zohra is not enough to over power the  strength of the invading army or prevent the  imprisonment of their peoples. Now, with Khardan and  Zohra mysteriously missing--seemingly cowards who  hid from certain defeat--the two clans have lost all  hope of ever again seeing their beloved open  skies. But Prince Khardan and Princess Zohra, aided by  the wizard Matthew, have been given another  mission...a mission that at first seems less useful  than counting the many grains of the desert sands,  but soon proves to be of far more lasting  importance.

Khardan, Zohra, and the wizard Mathew attempt an impossible journey across the vast desert, the Sun's Anvil, to face in combat their mortal enemies, led by Khardan's brother, Achmed
