Al-Silwa 1995: And the Curse of the Kingdom of Jirol

About this book

In rural Egypt in 1995, a blood-red moon and mutilated animals revive a village legend and memories of a boy's disappearance. Five boys turning sixteen are pulled through an abandoned waterwheel into a world with four moons. There, the kingdom of Jirol bears the consequences of betrayal, an exiled ruler and a slain guardian wolf. Rania Atef Ayoub's young adult fantasy brings friendship and loss into a struggle shaped by an ancient pact and a mysterious mark. Published by Basma Katib Printing, Publishing and Distribution.
