The Khamsin series was Bonnie Vanak’s debut franchise, beginning with The Falcon & the Dove in 2002. Set in Egypt, the books follow the Khamsin warriors of the wind, a clan of desert fighters with supernatural abilities. Each novel pairs a different warrior with a heroine, combining exotic historical settings with paranormal romance elements.
The series ran through eight books, ending with The Shadow Wolf in 2011. Titles like The Tiger & the Tomb, The Cobra & the Concubine, and The Panther & the Pyramid each use an animal motif tied to the hero’s nature. The Khamsin books established Vanak’s dual interest in historical settings and paranormal elements that would define her later career.
