This betrayal provides an opening for the Persians to help the statesmanlike and brilliant al-Ma’mun, whom they consider one of their own, to challenge his fickle brother.Against the backdrop of this war of succession, the novel weaves parallel love stories, political intrigue and machinations, nobility and treachery, spies and counterspies.

He not only divines the future but also shapes it by changing the course of the war between the brothers—a war from which the ‘Abbasid Empire never recovered.What will become of the lovers?
