The Land of the Wall

About this book

The Land of the Wall: where discovery begins when the curtain rises on the truth. In the venerable palace of Rawabi Land, Nadine was celebrating her sixteenth birthday—the day she had long awaited as the hidden signal answering the question haunting her since childhood: who is she, and what is the secret of her two blue eyes found on the palace's abandoned balcony years ago? That celebration was not mere innocent fun, but a race to a balcony hoarding secrets and rumors about a creature that kidnapped her and left her between the walls. In a moment seeming to come out of a dream, a jet-black horse with two golden wings no eye had ever seen appears, kidnapping her from her familiar world and hurling her toward an unknown fate. Nadine finds herself at a crossroads leading to the Land of the Wall—another world subject to an ancient curse that bequeathed it division and hatred, where people see nothing in each other but difference and exchange suspicion instead of trust. There, Nadine meets the two friends Safi and Shehab, who live in constant fear and flee from the strict guards of the Wall City.
