Turning West concludes the adventures of Ardeshir ben Nabonidus after he, Prince of Persia, runs off with the Han Emperor’s daughter. All Ardeshir wants is peace and truth while proving himself to his father. He completes his return home only to discover his farm in Persia has burned to the ground, his warrior-sister taken east, his gladiator-father kidnapped by murderous thugs heading west for Rome, and his young wife without shelter for their newborn son. Meanwhile, the Maji are determined to set him on the throne of Persia so that he can succeed his aunt.

Still uncertain of his skills to handle any of the challenges facing him, Ardeshir must strengthen his faith, courage, allegiances, and strategies to reach beyond himself and choose to face every hardship in succession as soon as possible. What will become of him as he faces odds too big to manage in a world aligned against him? How can he overcome the impossible when his story feels more than over?
