“The baby was more than just that; the infant was Hope.
A birth of newness and a promise of stability –
With his arrival came splendour and wealth and the kingdom was blessed once more.”
- The tale of The First Sheikh of Delani, 17 A.D
PROLOGUE
“The wedding is off.”
Four words, so simple and precise, seemed to reverberate around the ceremonial temple with undue force.
From where she sat in the front row, Jalilah couldn’t see the response her brother’s statement had wrought.
But she could feel it.
Murmured words raced at her like a high-speed train.
He was upset.
Not many in the room would be able to discern that fact, but Lilah knew him well.
