Omar didn’t choose to be the tyrant’s heir - but if he has courage, he can choose his fate...
Omar didn''t ask to be the nephew of the ruthless dictator of Mesomia - and he certainly doesn''t want to inherit a country whose people are in fear for their lives. He hasn''t a choice, though - until the day he is saved from a deadly ambush by Latifa, a beggar girl. When his uncle places Latifa under a Spell of Darkness, Omar can''t stand by and watch his rescuer die. Neither can Ketta, Latifa''s white cat and a jinn in disguise.
Together, the two embark on an extraordinary adventure to find the spell''s antidote - through the eerie, hostile marshlands, then flying on an enchanted carpet to the perilous mountain stronghold of a rebel werewolf clan. But they must face their greatest danger when they return to the palace.
Balancing on a knife-edge - at the mercy of the tyrant''s terrifying mood swings and cruel punishments, the evil Secretary''s machinations, and the rebels'' own plans for the fate of the country - Omar will learn the true meaning of courage before his journey is over.
