The Black Stone

About this book

"The Black Stone: when the past collides with the pain of the present." Between the quiet halls of "the Candles Cafe" and the chaos of explosions shaking cities' peace, a tale like no other is born. The story begins with a passing encounter, yet it opens the gates of hell and the grand existential questions. Ohoud, the young woman searching for truth amid the remains of the Great Mosque explosion, finds herself not merely a witness of her age, but a traveler across time through a mysterious electronic application named "the Black Stone." This book is no mere narration of historical events, but an investigative journey into the labyrinths of "the Celestial State" of the Qarmatians, where the madness of leaders mingles with the sanctity of the stone. Can history repeat itself with such brutality? And how can an event from a thousand years ago explain blood flowing today? The novel skillfully moves between the character of "the Qarmati Tahir" with his tyranny, and the pains of "the El-Sada" family in the modern age, revealing to us that human pain is one.
