A Spark in Ashes (The Windswept Saga #5)

Preface

The Great War has ended. The Ottoman Empire, which for centuries ruled the Middle East, lies in ruins. Britain and France, victors on the battlefield, quickly move to secure the spoils. Yet beneath the triumph is a tangled web of promises and betrayals.

German ambitions, however, were not confined to Europe.

Berlin sought allies in the Arab world, exploiting resentment against Britain and France.

Nazi propaganda began to circulate in the Middle East, promising liberation from colonial powers.

For nationalist leaders disillusioned by broken promises after the war, these overtures were tempting.

The seeds were sown for a contest of influence that would stretch from London to Jerusalem, from the cafés of Cairo to the deserts of Iraq.
