About the Book
Ghazi is on the run. His latest ploy is a fumble—stealing from the royal vault while
revolution brews in the king's city. A small boy, he wonders where to
flee as foreign armies arrive and diplomats and spies infiltrate the
king's court. Peasants have raised arms against the monarchy and
Ghazi is trapped in the midst of it all. But far to the snowy
mountains west is the promise of freedom and the lure of ancient,
buried gold. Rich with adventure and deceit, with sorcery and murder,
DAMASCUS is Jad Ziade's debut novel and the first book of The Syrian
Revolution.
