Witch of the Sahara: A South African Hero's Struggle in the French Foreign Legion, Book 1

1. SAHARA ADVENTURE SERIES - WITCH OF THE SAHARA

The French Foreign Legion, stationed at Dini Salam, faces a growing threat from the Doelaks, a band of marauders attacking caravans. Private Podolski, on guard duty, observes a large contingent of Doelak warriors led by a mysterious white woman astride a grey horse. Sergeant Lazarre attempts to defend a caravan but is brutally defeated. With supplies dwindling and local tribes growing restless, Colonel Le Clerq dispatches Captain D’Arlan and two hundred men to El Soer to strike back against the Doelaks. The journey is arduous, and the Doelaks destroy the legionnaires’ water supply.

Teuns Stegmann, a courageous South African in the Legion, plays a crucial role. Together with Fritz Mundt and Jack Ritchie, he braves the hardships of the Sahara, including a battle where several members drink from a poisoned water source. D’Arlan, a cunning strategist, manages to steal water and leads his men to Doetra where they confront Karima, the white woman. Teuns is captured and tortured by the Doelaks, but later liberated by Karima and appointed general of her army.

D’Arlan and Juin exploit the situation to free the remaining legionnaires. D’Arlan must then formulate plans and take action set in motion by the relationship Teuns now has with Karima. Or is it rather Karima who is leading D’Arlan into an ambush? Stegmann is divided, torn between his duty and his complex relationship with the enigmatic Karima. Will his loyalty lie with the Legion, or will he succumb to the enchantment of the beautiful woman who now holds the key to his freedom, or is there something far greater afoot?
