The Circle Of The Qur'an [Arc 3 | The Saint's Stone Saga]

THE CIRCLE OF THE QUR'AN(#3)...

"In a world of genius scholars and ascetic saints, of sinners and sorcerers, a world of scheming leaders and kingdoms in turmoil, and when spirits created from fire appear, only one would survive who brings to his Lord a pure heart..."

Over a thousand circles, a hundred schools, seven provincial cities, One Great Gathering.. and a competition to determine those who are chosen under Heaven, and - those who would become Legends...

For a hundred years, the Kingdom of Qalb-ul-Ard has stood supreme in the land so no other contemporary power could match.

This is a land where knowledge, purity of the heart, and morality is everything...

School reopens on the island city

Competitions arise, and so do aspirations..

Even as they work hard to secure a position in this year's GQRC, a strange decree by the frenzied King Dhul Qarnayn, changes all the rules of the game.

With Arkaan searching desperately for the remaining pieces of the Saint Stone, time is running out when their High School - Iqra Complex, is suddenly haunted by a series of strange events.

Things can't get more serious, until the lives of students are endangered, with the threatened closure of the School..

And what if Arkaan's theory is right - that a malevolent spirit is bent on making their junior year a living Hell?

"A riddle a night, for a soul."

Would Arkaan and his friends from the Circle be able to best and outlive the exploits of an ancient Scheherazade, in her eerie tale-telling, each, ending in a seemingly unsolvable riddle?

And when Princes arrive on Madinatu Asghar with spurious intentions, and thieving mages stalk high schoolers from the shadows, the biggest question till then is perhaps asked,

How does one survive High School for a term..?

"Time is ticking, dear.

..dawn is near."

Danger lurks everywhere...
