'I have a story to tell you. It is a tale of adventure, of love, and deception, of destiny and death. It is a tale of kings, and emperors, and of beautiful princesses; but also of poets, pirates, and priests. It is a story to entertain and instruct, to stir the blood, to inflame the senses, to dizzy the mind and rouse the soul...' 'If you like your historical fiction full of action, intelligent and well-researched, then you�ll be captivated by Killeen�s interweaving plot lines.' David Viner in The Bookseller 'Reading The Khalifah�s Mirror is like taking a trip to a foreign country you�ve never been to before, immersing yourself in sights and smells and sounds that are utterly outside the everyday that you know. An absolutely marvellous book.' Katy O'Dowd in The Historical Novel Review 'Somehow this complex narrative is controlled and brought full circle in this entrancing and turbulent book, as full of accurate historical detail as any scholarly work, yet as compellingly readable as its great original.' Jane Jakeman in Shots Magazine
