In 2020 DMR Books made arrangements to reprint Manly Wade Wellman’s final novel, Cahena, bringing it back into print for the first time in nearly thirty-five years. The contract is expiring soon, and at the end of May it will once again be unavailable.

Cahena is a historical novel (with fantasy elements) dealing with the brave and beautiful warrior queen who reigned over the Berbers in the seventh century. The Cahena, as she was known, was believed to be a sorceress and prophetess. She led an army forty thousand strong in a valiant struggle against the Mohammedan invaders who were fresh from their conquest of Carthage.

Sword-and-sorcery scholar Dr. Morgan Holmes considers Cahena one of his favorite novels, and as he stated in his review, “Wellman went out on top.” If you haven’t read it yet, grab a copy now while you still can. Who knows, it might be another thirty-five years before the next reprint!
