An empire expected her to surrender. History remembers that she refused.

When betrayal shatters the throne of Palmyra, Queen Zenobia must choose between survival and sovereignty. With Rome closing in and powerful rivals surrounding her, she transforms a desert kingdom into one of the ancient world's most formidable powers, challenging the greatest empire of her age.

Inspired by the remarkable life of one of history's most celebrated queens, Zenobia is a sweeping historical novel of courage, ambition, sacrifice, and the burdens of leadership. Beyond the battles and politics lies the story of a woman forced to balance the demands of an empire with the private cost of power, motherhood, friendship, and love.

Richly researched and vividly imagined, Zenobia brings the ancient world to life through unforgettable characters, breathtaking settings, and timeless human conflicts. It is a story of resilience in the face of overwhelming odds and of a queen whose legacy continues to inspire nearly two thousand years later.

The second novel in the Arab Legends series, Zenobia offers an intimate portrait of an extraordinary ruler whose greatest victories, and deepest losses, were measured not only on the battlefield but within the human heart.
