In the heat of WWII North Africa, Sarahma Idrissi is not just an art restorer but a hunter of secrets. Armed with a fragmented map her late father left behind, she navigates a labyrinth of desert ruins and political intrigue. When she unearths traces of a royal dynasty's lost technique, old loyalties fracture. Sarahma must ally with a wary spice merchant and a master stonemason to decode the artifact's mysteries. Yet the greatest threat emerges from within her own family, where hidden grievances and suppressed truths ignite the tension. As the race against time intensifies, Sarahma realizes that restoring the relic is not merely about preserving history—it is about exposing the betrayal that destroyed her lineage. Every step forward brings her closer to the truth, but the cost of knowledge is death.
