The "Shams" Rise is an intense, psychological, and erotic narrative chronicling the complete deconstruction and reconstruction of a young man named Iyed. The story is set in a deeply religious, fantasy matriarchal society where women hold all power and men are subjugated, their masculinity seen as a source of chaotic pride that must be contained.
Iyed, a timid and fearful twenty-one-year-old, is summoned by the powerful and revered mystic, Sheikha Qamar al-Zahra, for a process of "purification." Through a series of meticulous, often humiliating, and symbolically rich rituals, Qamar systematically dismantles every aspect of Iyed's identity: his name, his will, his memories, his shame, and his very sense of self. He is transformed from a person into a sacred object, a living text, and a tool for worship.
