Synopsis

She thought she was studying ancient myths. She didn't know she was one.

Layla Ashraf is a PhD student in Cairo - fluent in dead languages, good at ignoring things she can't explain. Like the fire she's been feeling beneath her ribs for three weeks.

Then a stranger on the metro looks at her like she's a problem he already knows the answer to. By nightfall, everything she thought she knew about history, magic, and herself has been stripped down to ash.

Beneath Cairo's streets exists a hidden city called Al-Asfal - a world of Guardians, dragons, and a war no one on the surface knows is coming. Layla's bond is to a dragon carrying the rarest element in existence, one extinct for five hundred years.

Everyone wants to control it. Some want to destroy it. And then there's Ziad - her cold, infuriating, devastatingly competent trainer - who keeps his distance like it costs him something.

The fire has been waiting five hundred years to wake up. So has she.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Abdullah Al-Baghdadi is an Egyptian novelist and storyteller, born in Cairo in the early 1990s. He grew up steeped in the golden age of Arabic literature - shaped by the poetry of Ahmad Shawqi, the sharp intellect of Abbas Al-Aqqad, and the timeless prose of Naguib Mahfouz.

Yet perhaps the closest literary thread runs through his own blood: the celebrated Egyptian poet Dr. Farouk Shousha - a relative whose love of language and the Arabic word left an indelible mark on Abdullah's voice as a writer.

He writes from Cairo, carrying the weight of a rich literary inheritance - and the quiet ambition to add his own chapter to it.
