Aton of Love and Hatred

About this book

Between the ash of the past and the embers of vengeance, a tale sprouts knowing no halfway solutions. In the novel "Aton of Love and Hatred," writer Shery El-Gharf opens the curtains of time on a wound unhealed for fifteen years, when the fortress of safety and the innocence of childhood were stolen from Akram and Anoud on a treacherous night that changed the features of their fate forever. The journey begins from the darkness of the graves and the silence of tombs, where two brothers stand who vowed their banner would never break until they reclaim a forfeited right. They are "hawks" raised on memories of a father departed by treason, and a mother who chose to hide to protect what remained of her family's fragments. The pace of events escalates when the two brothers decide to return to the homeland of pain, not as victims, but as a devastating hurricane grinding mountains of tyranny into sand. But can vengeance build a homeland? And do the fires of hatred quench the ache of yearning? Amid Aton's blazing battle, threads of an old love emerge that time tried to bury; the love of Anas and Anoud standing hesitant between the walls of pride and the ice of feelings, and between Akram and Shuaa.
