Description

Captain Robert Haldane wakes up in a strange room, in an old house, surrounded by a beautiful but ramshackle orchard, miles from anywhere.

The last thing he can remember is his helicopter being shot down over enemy territory.

It appears he is in a safe house, cared for by an elderly holy man and his niece. But how did Haldane get there, and who are these people really?

With time he suspects there is someone else in the house.

The soldier tracks her down: Aliyyah, a beautiful young veiled woman.

Is she, too, being kept against her will, or even her knowledge? And is there really a curse on this family?Aliyyah is a modern Arabian tale, set in an unnamed war-torn country.

It is a Romeo and Juliet story, but one for an age where scientific materialism is crossing bloody swords with religion.

What divides these two lovers is not the war outside, or the imminent arrival of Haldane’s troops, but how they interpret the world.
