Cahena: A Dream of the Past by Manly Wade Wellman
The brave and beautiful warrior queen known as the Cahena was believed to be a sorceress and prophetess. Her glorious reign over the Berbers in the seventh century was marked by passionate romance, stirring battles, and bold mystical deeds. The Cahena had the sensuality of Cleopatra, the wisdom of Catherine the Great, and the courage of Joan of Arc.
The Cahena led an army forty thousand strong, wielding javelins and scimitars, in a valiant struggle against the Mohammedan invaders who were fresh from their conquest of Carthage. At her side rode Wulf, the Saxon soldier. Wulf came to know the warrior queen like no one else before or after—for he was the one man who dared to love her.
Rich in historical detail and dramatic action, this is a story to rival the great war epics of all time. DMR Books is proud to bring Manly Wade Wellman’s final novel back into print after nearly thirty-five years.

Reviews:
”Manly Wade Wellman’s last novel, Cahena, was published posthumously in late 1986. I got my copy in early 1987. I remember getting sucked in and blowing through the novel… I don’t often return to novels, this is one of them. Wellman went out on top.” (Morgan Holmes, Castalia House)
