Widow’s Oil: Amias–Rashida Group is a richly layered collection of historical novellas set within the expanding Widow’s Oil universe, where faith, power, love, and war collide across ancient lands. Spanning Israel, Egypt, and surrounding nations, this five-part series follows a diverse cast of characters, prophets, healers, warriors, and servants, each navigating their own trials while unknowingly shaping a larger, interconnected story.

The journey begins with Amias, a traveling prophet drawn into a dangerous search for the truth surrounding the mysterious fate of Elijah. What begins as a mission of discovery quickly turns into a test of faith, courage, and survival as Amias ventures into hostile territory where belief and vengeance collide.
It continues with Rashida, a gifted physician living in the heart of Egypt. Amid celebration and cultural splendor, she is thrust into a life-or-death race to save her sister, forcing her to confront both her past and an unexpected love. Her story blends healing, danger, and romance against a vibrant historical backdrop.
The intensity rises with Phashar, a shepherd-turned-warrior who answers the call to battle in a long-standing conflict between nations. As he steps onto the battlefield, he uncovers betrayal within his own ranks, proving that the greatest threats are not always the enemy across the field.
The story deepens in Tishkhu, a political suspense narrative set within the royal court. Tasked with uncovering a conspiracy that threatens to tear a kingdom apart, Tishkhu must navigate deception, shifting loyalties, and hidden agendas. Closely linked with Phashar, their stories share a major crossover event, revealing the same pivotal moment from different perspectives and expanding the scope of the conflict.
The series reaches epic scale in Sandstorm, where war, myth, and legend collide. As armies clash and powerful forces emerge, including sorcery, massive war beasts, and towering enemies, Amen-Raad and his allies must stand against a threat that could reshape the region. This is a story of loyalty, sacrifice, and the making of a legend.

Together, these novellas form a complete and immersive experience, each story standing on its own while contributing to a broader, evolving narrative within the Widow’s Oil universe.
