From Booklist
The author of the Fallen Cloud saga has done his homework on the Middle East as well as he did on the Cheyenne, the saga's people, and has created a compact, lyrical fantasy. David Finebaum is an archeolinguist, or student of dead languages, in Jerusalem when he starts hearing one of those languages in his dreams, and then on the street. His desperate curiosity impels him on a perilous pilgrimage through Jerusalem into the Arab Quarters, where he survives a mixed reception. But the secret he pursues lies in the hands of a Bedouin tribe, and even if it means abandoning his lover, Israeli intelligence lieutenant Rivka Danilovitch, David must go. Reaching the tribe, he encounters Ghazayil, a girl he previously encountered in his dreams, and discovers that it is his destiny to marry her and preserve the secret of the tribe. The characterization, lyrical prose, and pacing are nearly flawless, and readers close the book hoping that it is only the first in a new series. Roland Green

Product Description
Kurt R.A. Giambastiani's new novel, Dreams of the Desert Wind is a modern fantasy of the Middle East. In Jerusalem, city of peace and strife, three people struggle to protect their lives, their loves, and their future. David Fineblum, son of an American senator and student of ancient languages, hears a young woman speak an ancient tongue scholars thought dead for a thousand years. Following her-and her secret- takes him deep into the world of danger and brings him face to face with the politics of the Judean Desert. Rivka Danilovitch, a lieutenant in the Israeli military, is caught between her love for David and her duty to her country. Her superiors are not concerned for David's safety, but she is. Ghazayil, a woman of the Sulubba Bedouin, holds the secret that draws David deep into the wilds of Judea, but it is not the secret he thinks it is. What she finally reveals threatens to shake not only his world, but the world at large. Kurt Giambastiani, author of the acclaimed Fallen Cloud Saga, now turns his talents to the secretive and volatile Middle East, creating a tale of love, intrigue, and possibility.
