Land of Dreams: The Final Attack

About this book

In the darkness of caves and under towering castles' shadows, heroism is not always born from purity's womb, but sometimes springs from the heart of betrayal and fracture. The tale begins with "Shawka," the young man who found in his father's legacy nothing but the arts of deception, and harvested from his past nothing but the title "outcast" chasing him like his shadow. In "the Land of Dreams," where kingdoms' borders mingle with giants' ambitions, Shawka finds himself facing a destiny bigger than his petty thefts; a destiny forcing him to sneak between "the Black Flame's" fires and the power corridors woven by "Hazem." While the existential war rages between "Mokhtar's" armies and "Mokhles's" armies, secrets buried for years are unveiled behind "the White Jewel's" walls and in "the Dark Forest's" depths. This work is no mere military struggle of swords and arrows, but an exploratory journey into the human psyche's labyrinths; where the heroes test the meaning of loyalty to "the Braid's" pact, and learn that "Mokhtar" is no mere title granted, but striving and perseverance and struggle against the forgetfulness gnawing the heart before the mind. Between taverns' din and decisive battles' silence, Shawka and his friends discover the road to freedom passes through liberation from the past's shackles first. "The Final Attack" is the seventh part of Adel Ben Alal's epic, where excitement reaches its peak, and all threads gather to weave an unforgettable ending for a land that dreamed long of salvation.
