The Song of the Mute

About this book

In a merciless world where sailors' legendary tales fade before the harshness of reality, Younes finds himself facing a past that kept haunting him. Younes, the sailor accustomed to facing sea storms, discovers that the heaviest burdens do not come from raging waves, but from the secrets he buried in the depths of his heart. The story begins with a mysterious encounter with a ghost from the past: a wooden box carrying a heavy trust, handed to him for the grandson of an old captain. This act—which he thought was the end of his debts—was only the beginning of a deeper confrontation with his brother Iyas who suddenly returns and turns his world upside down. The Song of the Mute is not just a tale of sailors and treasures, but a journey into the depths of the human psyche. Threads of betrayal, sacrifice, and the search for salvation intertwine in it. Younes, who lives a quiet life with his family, finds himself forced to dive into a sea of lies to protect those he loves—especially his daughter Fadaa, the deaf and mute girl who represents a silent song in this noisy world. The book tells the story of a family trying to survive a dark past and reveals the voice of right and truth.
