Description

A thrilling quest by bestselling author Saviour Pirotta, set during the golden age of Islam in Baghdad, a treasure trove of excitement and adventure. Two very different boys set out on an adventure they'll never forget...

The year is 798CE in Baghdad. Spoilt son of a wealthy merchant, Farouk, loses a valuable falcon of his father's, who decides to send him on the caravan travelling to see the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne in Aachen Germany, to teach him more responsibility. Meanwhile, after being mistreated at the hospital he works at as a cleaner, bright young orphan Hudayn is going too – as well as an unruly elephant.
With sea storms and bandits at every turn, will they, and their faithful elephant, make it safely to the emperor's court?
