“Of Daggers and Deception by A. L. Sowards is a tale of survival, deception, battles, scheming, love, faith, sacrifice, and betrayal. It had a very realistic plot and beautiful character development. Rasheed was the perfect main protagonist, and I loved his many facets. He was strong yet vulnerable . . . imperfect and relatable . . . . Sowards wrote a gripping historical novel, infusing it with much-needed humor. . . . Of Daggers and Deception would do well on the big screen.”
