Fleeing from persecution, 23-year-old Elijah takes refuge with a young widow and her son in the colourful, chaotic Middle Eastern town of Akbar. Already struggling to maintain his sanity in a chaotic world of tyranny and war, he is now forced to choose between a new-found love and an overwhelming sense of duty.
Paulo Coelho, the much-loved author of The Alchemist, turns the trials of Elijah into an inspiring story of how faith and love can ultimately triumph over suffering.
