Publisher's Synopsis
Isabelle's estranged archaeologist father dies leaving her a puzzle. In a box she finds some papers and a mysterious African amulet. But their connection to her remains unclear until she embarks on a trip to Morocco to discover how the amulet came into her father's possession. Across years and over hot, shifting sands, tracking the Salt Road, the stories of Isabelle and Taib, Mariata and her lover, become entangled with that of the lost amulet. It is a tale of souls wounded by history and of love blossoming on barren ground.
