Halimah and Atima are about to get married, but soon, their hopes and wishes are shattered when Halimah gets captured by an enemy tribe. As Atima wanders through the desert in search of her, their feelings toward one another is shown to the reader. But the enemy tribe's chief wants to marry Halimah, and if Atima is too late, all is lost. This book was pretty good. As a homework book, I thought itwas kinda boring in some places but good enough. The emotions need working on though. age: 9+ Rating: 3stars

In the first few pages of the book was mostly about how the cousins Halima and Atinah are getting married soon, but Atinah was going on a trip to help fight just because their uncle was coming to town. The uncle wanted him here, so he sent his men to go and fetch him. Once he got back, the uncle forced him to go to Fez. While all this stuff was happening, Halima was super sad, but she stayed strong. Soon, it was time to move for the Beni Khalid tribe, but something happened. Halima's wire got cut and she ended up all alone in the empty desert, but she gets rescued from by the enemy tribe and is forced to marry the sheikh. Atinah must escape the heavy clasps of fez, travel the lonely, harsh desert, and find some way to convince the Sheikh to let her go, but he does make a friend on the way. Find out if he can fulfill this suspenseful mission to save his one true love. I liked the book and i think you will to.
