"Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing" (Sylvia Plath).

"Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that truly counts" (Aladdin, 1992).

Aliyah (Ali for short) Nejem was the daughter of the Sultan's tailor. From the shadows, she was also hopelessly in love with the Sultan's son, Prince Jinan. That was before her mother killed her father in cold blood, and was hung for it. Now, Ali lives on the streets, stealing food whenever she can get it with the aid of her most loyal companion, a monkey the size of half a loaf of bread named Abu. Hated by the city guards and rejected by the city of her birth, she lives in the shadows, hiding away the girl that she used to be.

After she meets a mysterious boy in the marketplace (and having a wild adventure involving a few too many palace guards), Ali is given a choice by the Sultan's Grand Vizier: help him rob a tomb that has been sealed for over ten thousand years, or rot in the palace dungeons.

Noor, a dancer in the Royal Court of the Al-Yauzhan Empire wants nothing more than to pay off her debts and lead a nice, simple life-but a chance encounter with the crown prince and his brother brings her into the dangerous world of court politics. As Noor and the princes investigate their uncle and cousin's possible treason, she grows closer to the crown prince, but in order to save the kingdom and the person she loves, Noor will have to risk everything... A romantic adventure set in an imagined Arabic kingdom, THE DANCING GIRL is a story of court intrigues, romantic entanglements, and secret meetings as Noor and her best friend Amir try to help the princes they're falling for expose corrupt court officials with plans to seize the throne. Noor and Amir are close to having everything they've ever dreamed of...now all they need to do is survive.
