Emir Jalal al-Din Malik ibn Arslan
The Sultanate of Qamar al-Din stands at the edge of war. Its capital glitters with domes, minarets, scholars’ halls, and palace intrigue, but here on the western frontier, the kingdom is reduced to canvas, iron, horse sweat, and dust. The sultan’s army has gathered beneath green and black banners, waiting among cookfires, prayer rows, supply wagons, and sharpened spears. Beyond the hills, enemy scouts move. Within the camp, rumors of betrayal travel faster than arrows. The sultan is aging. His sons are watched. Governors hide corruption behind loyal words, and every command may decide whether villages survive or burn. Into this restless war camp rides Emir Jalal al-Din Malik ibn Arslan, the sultan’s second son, concealed beneath the modest title of royal envoy. He has come to inspect the frontier before battle begins, but what he uncovers may threaten not only the enemy beyond the hills, but the throne behind him.
