On November 2nd DMR Books will bring Manly Wade Wellman’s final novel Cahena back into print for the first time since 1986. Rich in historical detail and dramatic action, this is a story to rival the great war epics of all time.

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.

This reprint marks the first time Cahena will be available in trade paperback and digital editions. The cover art was created by Lauren Gornik, whose work could previously be seen on The Great Die Slow and Swords of Steel Omnibus.
