English Summary/英文概要: ‘The first book in a sweeping six-book middle-grade adventure series set in the deserts of Arabia.
After the sudden loss of their parents, siblings Layla and Zayd find themselves alone in modern Dubai, holding only two mysterious amulets their mother gave them. A strange encounter at the Museum of the Future separates them – and sends them into the vast Arabian desert of the past.
Layla is taken in by a Bedouin tribe and begins to learn the ancient rhythms of desert life, while Zayd awakens among young raiders with no memory of who he is or where he came from. As the legend of the Saluwwa – the feared She-Wolf of the desert – begins to circle their paths, Layla must cross the most dangerous sands to find her brother before the spirit claims him.
Blending adventure, Bedouin tradition and desert mythology, the story follows two children discovering courage, loyalty and the power of the desert’s oldest stories.
