Cloaked in the mists of Mesopotamia hides the world of Aalayfa, an alternate reality born from the vision of ancient dragon queens; and so compelled, the Soultana of Siduri to make the journey in search of Anatat, a Hood of Aden who serves as a minion to the current queen. Anatat is not expecting the powerful being rattling with power who crashes through the gates with vipers in her hair to usher her into the isolated desert to show her a heightened state of awareness. It is more than a matter of loyalty but also of trust as they are pulled together below the surface of the desert by the Chilala, the Djinn, where they join forces with that Other one, in London where they cross into different dimensions and realities. This first book in the Aalayfa series is approximately 298 pages.
