Alexis thought the Middle East would be far enough to escape her troubles back home. Since childhood, she's been taking pills to silence a darkness inside her. Now she's been murdered, reborn and the pills don't work anymore. Starved for blood and caught up in an ancient rivalry between the Levantine vampire clans, Alexis is of great interest to those who want to harness her secret. The one person helping her is an English vampire with a caustic attitude and an eight-hundred-year-old grudge. Her only chance to remain free is to master the darkness within her and help him end his crusade against an ancient enemy.

The dramatic and inspiring story of one woman's incredible journey into the heart of a man and his nation. Born into a distinguished Arab-American family, Lisa Halaby was a strongly independent young woman. After studying architecture at Princeton, her work on projects in the Middle East gave her a profound understanding both of the links between the environment and social problems, and also of the tumultuous history of the Arab nations. Then, in 1974, her life took a very different turn, when her father introduced her to the world's most eligible bachelor, King Hussein of Jordan. After a whirlwind romance, she became Noor Al Hussein, Queen of Jordan. With eloquence and honesty, Queen Noor speaks of the obstacles she faced as a young bride and of her successful struggle to create a role for herself as a humanitarian activist. She tells of her heartbreaking miscarriage and the births of her four children, along with her continuing support for King Hussein's campaign to bring peace to the Arab nations. But most of all this is a love story - an honest and engaging portrait of a truly remarkable woman and the man she married.
