In the shadowy corridors of Middle Eastern power, one woman rose to astonishing prominence only to vanish under a cloud of secrecy and speculation. Luna Al-Shibl: A Power Broker's Demise unravels the enigmatic story of Bashar al-Assad's most trusted media advisor and the unsettling downfall that followed.

Once a rising star at Al Jazeera, Luna Al-Shibl defected to the Syrian regime at the height of the civil war, shocking the Arab world. She became the face and voice of Assad's propaganda machine, engineering media campaigns, steering international perception, and even whispering into the president's ear during times of global scrutiny. But power, in Assad's Syria, is as dangerous as it is intoxicating.

This meticulously researched political biography traces Luna's trajectory from journalist to shadow diplomat, revealing a world where loyalty is transactional, and betrayal lurks behind every handshake. Was her silence self-imposed? Or was it enforced by a regime that no longer trusted her proximity to the truth?

Based on leaked intelligence, insider testimonies, and rare footage, this book dives deep into the inner sanctum of Syrian politics. It exposes the gendered struggle for influence in an authoritarian state, the ruthless information wars waged behind the scenes, and the haunting questions that surround Luna's disappearance from public life.

Luna Al-Shibl: A Power Broker's Demise is more than a biography; it's a chilling reminder of what happens when media, politics, and dictatorship intertwine. For readers of political thrillers, Middle East history, and power dynamics in authoritarian regimes, this is a story that demands attention.
