A Tale of Truth, Betrayal, and the Temptation of Power
1272 A.D. – The Silk Road stretches endlessly, a path paved with ambition, treachery, and forgotten whispers. Sayid ibn Rahman, a Persian scribe burdened by loss, journeys across this treacherous route in search of a fabled manuscript—one said to contain the secrets of life itself. But as his ink-stained hands turn its pages, he finds more than knowledge; he finds temptation.
Hunted by a relentless military commander and a high-ranking official, Sayid’s path intertwines with Mehri, a woman shrouded in mystery—an old friend, an unspoken rival. Together, they must navigate a world where words hold more power than swords, and history is written not by the victors, but by those who control the ink.
Yet, the deeper Sayid delves, the closer he inches toward the ultimate question: Is truth worth more than power?
When betrayal strikes from the shadows and the echoes of an old mentor resurface, Sayid must decide—will he protect the world from the manuscript’s power, or claim it for himself?
The road to destiny is woven in silk, but one wrong thread can unravel it all.

Is this just another historical novel? Nope. It’s historical, but it’s also a journey of the soul—filled with choices, regrets, and the weight of one’s past.
