When a headstrong businesswoman, her troubled son in rehab, and his fiercely loyal best friend collide, old wounds and new secrets ignite - forcing them to face whether love can heal what pride has broken.

Everyone assumed the war in the Middle East was fought over oil painting and power, but only one of those hypotheticals is correct. Behind every important figure there's someone pulling the strings, someone forcing a retired docket. The Middle East is no different. That is where everything started. Long before the monarchs of Europe and the dictators of Egypt, Christ and Moses, there lived the Algula. The Algula are a shark race that went undetected by humans for thousands of times. Created by Gods they were erected to be bigger and stronger than humans, still they weren't imperishable. The Algula endured constitutionally long dates but weren't immortal beings. When they went up against each other in battle they were as vulnerable as humans are against one another. utmost of the Algula Ghul soldiers did not live to see old age, rather they failed in battle. Their king was important and knew no equal. Being the strongest meant no bone would challenge him or question his rule. These were the times of calmness, when humans were safe. Hashim, the destroyer of wrong, ruled his people with a firm hand and harsh discipline. He kept the peace of his subjects while keeping the humans unconscious to their actuality and power. He was married to Queen Afaf, whose name meant" one who is pure and loving." The Algula cherished their royal family; their service to their people was unquestioned and unfaltering. Queen Afaf drag King Hashim halves, an cbn and a bent. Fertility wasn't commodity the Algula had luck with. It was dangerous for them; the survival rate for a mama and her youthful was about thirty percent. Some believed having halves was a sign from the Gods, agreeing with way the Algula were living their lives. There was a vaticination formerly told, that the end of their actuality would come from two powers at war, the beast and the huntsman. Some Algula chroniclers say the two powers were related, others say they were nemeses. No bone knows for sure, the restatement having been lost with the generational transfer of stories and the loss of their shoptalk. Hashim's ebn', Haydar, had the spirit of a captain; it was kindly fitting that his name meant" King of the timber and sovereign of all." He was willful and ruthless, with no tone- control. Haydar was careless with his conduct and that was what upset Hashim the most about turning his people over to him. He was hysterical if he left his ebn' in control, wars would start out of covetousness and rapacity. Haydar's quick temper got him into fights with those he was around on a diurnal base. Hashim tried tutoring him to hold his lingo, but the assignments noway took, always ending in a fight. Hashim's bent, Ikram, was known for her liberality and hospitality. She was always immolating for the Algula people and made sure they had what they demanded for survival. King Hashim tagged to pass the throne to her and therefore the launch of the royal contest. Ikram and Haydar would ever be adversaries and so would their descendants. While the mortal population grounded their history on the two rival houses of Ishmael and Isaac, the Algula grounded theirs on Ikram and Haydar. Everyone had to pick a side; they just supplicated they picked the right bone . King Hashim ruled the Algula for times, during this time there were many wars. The humans continued to fight among each other, but the Algula allowed them to live in relative peace, free from their influences. On the night of King Hashim's death, Ikram was culminated Queen and given Hashim's people to cover and lead. Feeling slighted, Haydar dissolved into the night, not minding what happed to his family. While the change of power passed, the humans were passing a rush of Maronites into the present country of Lebanon. After the revolutions started in the Middle East, it is said that Haydar escaped to England. The remaining Algula stayed in the mountains, down from the affluence of humans. Present day Zahle, Lebanon is where King Hashim's body was laid to rest. Queen Ikram showed hospitality toward these mortal Maronites and decided they could help the Algula progress. The peace of the two races lasted just over 100 times, flourishing until around 636A.D. The humans had a war among themselves. The Muslims and Christians fought to the death, killing each other and destroying the land. Word got back to Queen Ikram that her akh, Haydar, and his generals were behind the wars, obliging the humans to fight by corrupting their weak minds and natures, turning them against one another. Queen Ikram transferred her Ghul mercenaries out in hunt of her binary. Their orders were to bring him back alive.
