The Sheehana

Whenever someone looked towards the "Dahabi" house, they wondered; behind which wall did the bodies of the prisoners rest, and the screams of the virgins suffocate, and the precious metal hide away?! An extraordinary journey between Bedouin tents, gypsy songs, and fire breathers, and a smelter of all races, beliefs, and stories in a crucible of eternal conflict, and a heart born of rebellion, dwelling in the chest of a woman searching for her confused identity between the ruins of a family cursed by a historical curse, and bloody tales stained with the shame of the swaying crowns and false glory. With wild recklessness that neither a turban nor a creed can contain; the sheikhah soars over the mountains of gold seeking a faith that settles in her heart, and a creature she can trust beside her, but finds only an owl tearing through her veils of silence and doubt. So can Catherine survive the curse? And does her mirror reflect the truth hidden among the veins of gold before she removes the masks from all faces? A story written by the author, free from the stereotypical place, and from the dominance of a time whose days flowed through its pages, revealing images torn from Egypt's history over a hundred years.
