The Land of Ofris

About this book

Ali carries a heavy inheritance of loss, trauma, and grief. Fleeing the shadows of his past, he reaches a secluded place known as the Land of Ofris, where fragrant flowers and unexpected tenderness offer the possibility of repair. For a brief time, the refuge seems capable of restoring what has broken within him. Yet peace proves fragile. Suspicion gathers, concealed intentions come to light, and betrayal approaches from those nearest to him. As emotional captivity begins to resemble a prison of walls, love and hope struggle against resentment and revenge. Bassam Mohamed's compact novel blends psychological drama with mystery, exploring whether affection can rescue a person from tragedy or whether fate will always find a path through even the safest sanctuary.
