The Days of the Arabs, the Time of Ignorance.
A time of jinn, poets, prophets, blood feuds, deserts.
A young man meets a young woman by a well.
The world is never the same.
The young man is Khalid ibn al-Walid, companion to the Prophet Muhammad, conqueror of much of the known world in the name of Islam.
And the woman--she has power of her own.
