Forbidden City: Braeden the Barbarian. Braeden the Barbarian, #1

A most perilous quest. This is no ordinary desert, but rather one with changing shapes, scorpions the size of horses, and giant 36-foot snakes that pop up from under the sands and can swallow a camel whole and snap a man's body in half. It's a magical desert that shows no mercy to the mighty barbarian Braeden as he crosses it on his horse, Finn--not your ordinary horse. The warrior is a magnificent, muscled specimen weaned on swords and sorcery, perhaps enough to conquer the she-devil desert--perhaps not.
Meanwhile, Azalea, a warrior as beautiful as Braeden is handsome, makes her way across the desert and comes across a small enchanted village with its own resident witch. The Red Dragon tattooed on her signifies that she is more than just a pretty face. Braeden and his sarcastic friend, Zack are searching for The Forbidden City while Azalea is on her own quest equally as treacherous and she rides alone--well almost.
An exceptionally smart Siamese cat tries to lead her to safety; surely a magical cat, who leads her through bizarre and strange places as the warrior pursues her quest.
