Dive back in time, to the depths of the desert, and watch the old stories unfold before your eyes. A story of treasure hunting, betrayal, and destiny. 

When a gruesome future is all you see, how can you change it? 

When you're foretold to fail, how should you move on?

Zarqa, the girl who saw beyond time, sought to find answers.

--------------------------


Legend says that Zarqa had sharp eyes that could look far away in the distance. But what if that wasn’t the end of it, what if her eyes were seeing far beyond not only space, but time? What if Zarqa was blessed with a prophecy, one that could save her dying village from destruction? 

Just as they thought they had no way to survive, Zarqa learns of a way to protect her village from demolition. Naturally, no one believed her, for no one but the Almighty could see beyond the present. 

They forgot the Almighty offers knowledge to those whom he deems of worth. And Zarqa was one of them. Having to trudge an arduous path and go through a great adventure, Zarqa seeks to find the solution to all of their problems, a treasure said to have the power to change all. 

Pitted against magical traps and the mysteries of the deserts, she finds unexpected company in Ali Baba, the poor kid with the sticky fingers, and his crow Morjana...

Please don't let the first paragraphs fool you. This isn't a story from the first person's POV.

ZARQA

" That… you will have to figure out on your own…" Jaber chewed on those words as the caravan carried on the next morning.

Figure it out how? The boy literally knew nothing but to cut and brew poison. Nothing he considered fitting for atoning. Not unless someone wanted someone else dead, which didn't at all differ from what the Hashashins were doing.

No matter how hard he thought about it, he found himself turning in circles. He had already accepted that he could never live a decent life again after what he was made to do under Ashar and his men, but Khalid and Sindbad lit a fire under his feet, trying to convince him that he could fix it and make atonement somehow.

Part of him wanted to believe in that from the bottom of his heart, but deep down, he knew that bloodied hands could bring nothing but more blood.
