Marrakesh Nights by British author Graham Diamond (ISFDB, Wikipedia) is his standalone fantasy adventure novel based loosely on a mix of Arabian folklore and history, as a young woman finds herself the key to defeating the legendary League of Assassins (IRL, the hashishin (Wikipedia) who seem to have been most active around the time of the Crusades), with the help of a mysterious young man whose trust she must win, free courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint, who are e-printing it from its 1983 edition originally out from Fawcett.

We've previously received another one of Diamond's same setting but otherwise unrelated Arabian folklore-based fantasy adventure novels as a freebie as well: Marrakesh, and if you happen to like these and wish to read more, the omnibus edition of the duology of his broadly similar Central Asian historical adventure fantasy Samarkand is currently discounted to just 99 cents (regularly around $4.99-ish IIRC), if you missed it earlier.

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else that Amazon sells worldwide, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive-or-else program)

Description
The night is closing in…

Assassins. The dreaded scourge of the Islamic world.

Drugged and crazed with heads shaven and eyes glazed, the members of the Messiah’s secret cult would openly slay the innocent until blood flowed through the streets of the Sultan’s Marrakesh.

Men who will stop at nothing to dispatch their foe. And they are on the hunt.

Samiah, a dustman’s daughter, may not know it yet, but she is the key to the fight to destroy the guild of the Assassins once and for all.

However, before she can learn her harrowing purpose, she must first gain the help of young Gideon, a dubious and secretive figure, but one she needs nonetheless.

Just how much she needs him, she does not yet know.

Intrigue and death are on their doorstop – love, perhaps, as well, if the Assassins do not end it all too soon…

Graham Diamond’s Marrakesh Nights is an enthralling fantasy, packed with adventure. An exotic novel, sure to delight fans of The Arabian Nights.
