Generation after generation, an unattached male is plucked from the
same family line and sent to the home of the man they only know as
Dhakir. It is a duty all men in the line are brought up knowing, but
none can know which male will be called or when.
Twenty-six-year-old
Hadi Rahal is plucked from his fast-paced life among the brilliant
lights and shallow vanity of Milan's fashion world when he is told his
uncle has passed on and he is the next Keeper. Knowing only vague
legend, Hadi travels to Sétif, Algeria where his heritage waits in the
form of an ancient name and sorrowful eyes he cannot turn from, even as
he prays to God for the fortitude to resist.
