Autumn of the Throne”
About the Novel
In an ancient past, hidden behind a dusty legend, a dictator named Imam Khurdala bin Sama’a al-Nabhani established his mythical kingdom. He ruled with fire and steel, without a constitution or customs like other countries, even bloody ones. He surrounded it with laws and restrictions that were shocking to witness. He ruled that kingdom, located in a geography now embroidered with an unknown geography. He seized power from his father in a bloody coup and removed it from his brother, the Crown Prince. He then seized control of his fiancée, resided in the Sultan’s palace, and appointed himself Imam of the kingdom, ruling in the name of God. His power reached its absolute peak when he established mythical rules based on his being both the representative of heaven and the executor of judgments, leading to a mythical rule that surpassed medieval dictatorships. The Imam’s brutality was fueled by his command, and his brutality increased with the flow of his doubts like the mouths of a resurrection. The Imam, God’s representative on earth, formulated divine laws and decrees, embroidered with verses of his own blood, against all those who circled around him and glorified his kingdom, over which the sun shines by day and darkens by night. If it were in his power, he would prevent the sun’s rays from rising. He sees the darkness of the universe as a divine means to make the inhabitants of the kingdom completely blind so that they cannot see each other. He forbade the lighting of lamps at night… curfew… banned the wearing of sunglasses… issued a caravan of Imami decrees that included the prohibition of singing, holding parties, listening to music, and owning books, except the Qur’an and books by Salafis. He entrusted them with managing the affairs of the inhabitants… everyone who dared and had the courage and desire to read lost his life. A group of those who smuggled books secretly risked their lives. The punishment for reading was death…
