The Island of Souls

About this book

Basil, a young journalist known for defending the oppressed and exposing corruption, awakens aboard a yacht with gaps in his memory. A strange cigarette, a brief exchange with a yellow-eyed man, and an impossible summer storm precede the wreck that strands him and five companions on an island governed by unfamiliar rules. Geography, perception, and identity begin to shift, making rescue less urgent than understanding why these particular people were brought together. Radwan Shokri combines science fiction, psychological suspense, and investigation in a story where each survivor carries concealed history. The island does not merely trap bodies; it tests whether a soul can remain itself when reality refuses to stay fixed.
