The Sailor's Secret - Younis AlAkhzami

A storm delivers a boy to the shores of Ras Madrakah, a forgotten village where the sea speaks in riddles and the rocks seem almost alive. Sheikh Shaleh takes the boy in, convinced he is a gift from God. The same storm that wrecks a ship appears to reveal a long-buried secret. Across the sea, in the quiet chapels of Leeds, Sophia sends her husband David into the desert in search of that secret, guided by signs she believes are divine. Told with the shimmer of Arabian Nights and the wonder of Sinbad’s voyages, The Sailor’s Secret is a tale of omens, shipwrecks, and the stories that carry us home.
