December,
1148; 543 AH: a small band of
illustrious travellers gather on Marettimo, a fortress island off
the coast of Norman Sicily,
destination Brycgstow, England. Among
them is geographer and luminary of Roger II’s court,
Muhammad al-Idrisi, travelling in pursuit
of his grand treatise, Nuzhatul Mushtaq.
Finding safe passage on Captain
Hajji's futuristic vessel, al-Jaariya,
Idrisi shares conversation and
adventures with an extraordinary
array of characters, some human, on
a tumultuous voyage where the
darkest encounters are not with sea
monsters or storms, but with the
desires and contradictions burning
at the very heart of their
expedition.
