In The Treasure, Iris Johansen delivers a sweeping historical romance filled with danger, passion, and adventure.
 
Lady Selene Ware has already survived captivity as a harem slave, escaping with the help of Kadar Ben Arnaud—a man trained in the deadly arts of seduction and assassination. But freedom proves fragile, as the sheikh who once claimed her still holds power over her fate.
Forced into a dangerous bargain, Selene and Kadar must embark on a perilous journey to locate a legendary religious artifact—one that has been sought by powerful men for centuries, from the time of King Arthur to the present.
As they travel across dangerous lands, their alliance is tested by enemies, secrets, and the growing tension between them. Their search leads them to the mysterious Tarik, who now possesses the treasure—but obtaining it may come at a cost far greater than either of them expected.
 
The Treasure blends romance, history, and adventure into a captivating story of survival, redemption, and the pursuit of something far more powerful than gold.
