Amidst the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the two cousins must travel the path of redemption to rediscover the meaning of humanity and religiosity, no matter how far the journey takes them. Even to the golden oasis that is Petra.

“In the time of frustration and injustices felt by many Muslims across the world, the novel reminds us to return to our conscience and Islam’s core advocation of peace while keeping on fighting for what is right. This is a must-read.” - Okky Madasari
