Beschreibung
Morocco, 1359. The people of Fes are living in deprivation under the rule of an unjust sultan. Zakaria is a young Muslim scholar trying to sustain his family while committing to a rigid moral code. To provide for his sickly daughter, he sacrifices his principles and seeks a job at the palace, where he gradually becomes entangled in a web of intrigue, his conscience tormented by serving the sultan. In the hope of fleeing from the constraints of his world, he joins the quest of Muhammad ibn Yusuf, the exiled king of Granada, and his enchanting sister, Aisha, to reclaim their throne. Together, they set out to Andalusia on a journey that will call into question all of Zakaria's
beliefs and change the history of the Iberian Peninsula for decades to come.

Then He Sent Prophets is a novel for our moment. Set around the political struggles of fourteenth-century Granada, it is a deeply sympathetic and passionately human look at how one might make-or fail to make-moral, decent choices when living in a violent, indecent world. - Marcia Lynx Qualey, founding editor of ArabLit

Circumstances present Zakaria with a position at the palace. [...] Can someone critical of the sultan and conscious of his corruption maintain integrity while serving at the palace? And what's the line between complete innocence and partial complicity? These are the questions at the crux of his ethical dilemma. [...] It's easy to make connections between Zakaria's inner dilemmas and those many of us grapple with today. - Hafsa Lodi in The New Arab
