Announcing a New Epic Novel: The Order Of the Midnight Rose, by Anthony Dozier

July 21, 2008 - PRLog -- Critically Acclaimed Author, Anthony Dozier Presents:
The Order of the Midnight Rose

The Order of the Midnight Rose takes a fresh look at the relationships between Christians and Muslims, Europeans and Africans in the Crusades era, in an engaging story of family, faith, betrayal, power and forbidden love.  Dozier gives a new and realistic depiction of the ancient world.

Christianity & Islam... the two religions are forever linked by conflict, from the Crusades to the strife of modern days.  Long ago, there was another bond between the religions, a bond of hope, a bond of faith...a bond of love...

And it was the legend of two heroes that would change the face of the world...

Safeerah - the beautiful and deadly Persian Princess, as irresistibly seductive as she is skilled in the arts of espionage.  When an ancient religious artifact is thrust into her safekeeping, she is forced to reexamine her assumptions of the Christian faith, forced to reconsider her oath to bring about the end of all who oppose Muslim interests.

Adisa - the powerful and handsome young man for whom fate has brought from a painful life of servitude to a glorious existence as one of the most feared knights in Europe.  From the hidden kingdoms of Africa to the golden palaces of the Mediterranean, Adisa will use his relentless will and his supreme leadership skills to unify the world’s religions as they have never been before - while entire nations will rise to stop him.  

The Order of the Midnight Rose is a fast-paced epic that explores the origins of modern day religious conflict in a suspenseful story of forbidden love.

Author’s Info

Critically acclaimed author Anthony Dozier was born & raised in Columbia, South Carolina.  The son of a Presbyterian minister, Dozier’s passionate interest in history and religion surfaced at an early age, and is evident in much of his written works.  Dozier attended North Carolina State University, majoring in engineering and completing extensive coursework in physics.  In addition to writing and lecturing, astrophysics remains one of his passions.  

In college Dozier began to experiment with writing, taking several writing courses and creating several short stories.  Upon graduation, Dozier attended the University of South Carolina where he completed his graduate degree in Business Administration.  

It was during his undergraduate experience that Dozier's first novel Amenra of the Sands began to take shape, though it would be a few more years before the story was completed.  Inspiration for Dozier’s latest novel, The Order of the Midnight Rose, came to him from a variety of sources, including an interest in the origins of Middle Eastern conflict as they pertain to religion.  Dozier has enjoyed several other noteworthy accomplishments at a young age, including working with several Fortune 500 companies as a Six Sigma professional.  In 2002, Dozier founded a software & literary publishing company, and he also serves as a lecturer on a variety of religious, historical & social topics.  A member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., Dozier places a great deal of emphasis and effort on building communities through civic service, mentoring and education.

Dozier is currently in discussions to bring both Amenra of the Sands and his newest title,
The Order of the Midnight Rose, to the motion picture industry, as well as working on his third novel due for release in 2009.
