The White Prophet, Volume 2 (of 2)

Helena awakens to a bustling camp at the edge of the desert, where news spreads that a mysterious stranger—an English Christian—has been invited to the mosque. As the crowd drums up excitement, she follows the rhythmic cries and chants to the riverbank, where a procession of palm‑laden followers brings a lone figure on a white camel into view. The sight of Gordon, cloaked in Bedouin robes, sends her heart racing, and she retreats to the safety of her bedroom, only to be drawn again by the swell of prayers echoing through the grand courtyard of the mosque.

Inside the cool, columned hall, the faithful kneel on crimson carpets while the muezzin’s call rises and falls like a desert wind. Helena, veiled and trembling, finds herself perched on a gallery beside the enigmatic Zenoba and young Ayesha, watching the unexpected convergence of cultures. The tension of an uneasy meeting between Christian and Muslim worlds builds, promising a clash of belief, loyalty, and destiny that will test every character’s resolve.
