A stranger from tomorrow, a world from yesterday. Afida was having an ordinary spring afternoon in modern-day America. A peaceful walk. A few pretty flowers. A quiet moment appreciating Allah’s creations. And then, somehow, she woke up in the middle of a desert. Not just any desert. A desert belonging to a world that should have existed centuries before her own. With no phone signal, no familiar faces, no knowledge of Persian, and absolutely no understanding of how she got there, Afida finds herself surrounded by unfamiliar merchants, camel caravans, bustling settlements and a civilization completely foreign to her. Her only familiar things are her faith, her memories, her language and the little flower she picked before everything changed. Among the strangers she encounters is Yahya ibn Rashid, a prosperous merchant’s son travelling with a caravan. He has merchandise to deliver, family responsibilities and places to be. She has no idea where she is. And neither of them is prepared for the confusion that follows.
