By the bestselling author of the iRead Award-winning The Papers of Shimon the Egyptian.
When a shocking clipping in his father’s memoirs declares Science the only true prophet, Egyptian scholar Omar Al-Qaddah is plunged into a dual-timeline mystery spanning modern Marseille and 325 BC Massalia. Mirroring an ancient Greek poet’s quest for a legendary explorer who braved the frozen North, Osama Al-Shazly’s intellectually thrilling epic is a powerful, exquisitely written confrontation between faith, science, and the human hunger for absolute certainty.
