About the Book.
A young Palestinian woman desired by a jihadist and an Israeli.
A monstrous plan for revenge by religious fanatics.
A paradise that turns into hell.
Faisah is the daughter of a wealthy family of Palestinian descent residing in Cairo. At the celebration of her eighteenth birthday, she narrowly escapes being raped by her uncle, a senior Egyptian secret service official. The young woman takes refuge in piety and gets involved with the opposition Muslim Brotherhood. To shield her from the influence of this islamist movement, the concerned parents send Faisah and her brother to study on the small Caribbean island of Grenada. This turns out to be a momentous mistake. The siblings get caught in the murderous network of an offshoot of the Islamic State. Omar Gazawy, the commander of a cell of former ISIS fighters, wants to use Faisah for a spectacular attack that is supposed to avenge the expulsion of his Moorish ancestors from Spanish Granada.
Dramatic, tough, touching.
"The turn of events was enough to unnerve the most hardened fighter."
