An incredible tale of modern day romance born out of the violence in the Middle East. Readers will be pulled into this spellbinding story.” 4 Stars From InD’tale Magazine October 2014 issue InD’Tale Article

Lilas Taha presents a story closely related to modern day events. The story line of the book is not your typical romance novel, yet offers the insight of how two individuals can overcome differences. The characters are believable and not made out to be heroes nor have the illusion of exaggerated abilities. Lilas does a great job of drawing out the characters and the true meaning of how life events affect decisions made from the heart. – On Line Book Club.

I love realistic stories based on current events. Stories that make me think, force me to ask–could I do what these characters did? Exciting plot, fun read. Highly recommend “Shadows of Damascus.” I read it in one afternoon. – American Scribe.

With this book Lilas has put human faces to two things the American public doesn’t really understand: the proud, honor-bound war veteran trying to make peace with his past, and the innocent people trapped in a once-peaceful country that’s now destroying itself. I found myself identifying, to different degrees, with both of them. – Author Chris Hernandez.

A story of danger, intrigue, emotional upheaval, hidden love, and unexpected events crafted by a gifted author into a compelling and poignant tale that will keep the reader thoroughly engrossed until the very end. An unforgettable story unique to our times that no one should miss. – Author Barbara Andrews
